Public house. Early C16. Extended in C18 and C19, and altered
at various dates. Timber frame, painted render, end-gabled
tiled roof, a tall brick stack in front roof slope. The main
block comprises early C16 timber-framed range of three
structural bays indicated at first-floor level, additions at
rear, and a long wing added in C19 at right-hand gable end.
EXTERIOR: two storeys, with single-storey wing to right; on
the front of the main block a continuous first-floor jetty
with knee-bracket at each end; the ground floor possibly
rebuilt and rendered, with a doorway to left with a two-light
fixed window to each side, and to right a similar three-light
fixed window; the jettied first floor rendered with
timber-framing represented in black paint, and infill panels
in white paint, and indicating three bays defined by storey
posts, each bay with two intermediate posts, curved tension
braces to the storey posts at the outer corners and straight
tension braces to the intermediate bay posts: probably an
approximation of any remaining original framing preserved
under the render. In the centre of each bay a pair of
casements with leaded lights; in the right-hand end-gable
similar painted framing indicating close studs and a collar
tie. On the front of the long, single storey, end-gabled wing
to right a central doorway and, widely spaced to each side, a
two-light, timber-framed, cross window with rectangular,
leadlight casements.
INTERIOR: on the ground floor C19 and C20 linings and
fittings; first floor not inspected.
