Scots Poor is a Grade II Listed former Drovers’ Inn dating from the 17th Century. Originally a timber-framed house with later brick and flint elevations under a recently re-thatched roof. The property was extended in 2010 with an oak frame two-storey addition plus basement under a tiled roof. The accommodation has been beautifully designed with handmade clay tiles on the floors of the original cottage and slate tiling on the ground floor elsewhere. Upstairs floors are of oak and elm with limestone tiles in the bathrooms. The heating is provided by a ground source heat pump with under floor heating in the extension.
