Public house. C17 or earlier, partly refronted early C18, extended early-mid C20.

PLAN: single-depth with rear single storey C20 extensions. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and basement; 8-window range. Near-symmetrical front has a plinth, moulded plat band, and moulded coping to parapet on 3 sides. Left of centre doorway has a bracketed timber pediment, architrave and C20 panelled door, and a blocked left-hand doorway with an architrave. Mid-late C19 paired 6/6-pane sashes either side of central doorway; the other windows are C18 6/6-pane sashes in exposed frames, regularly spaced, with left-hand first-floor sash set apart; 3 gabled dormers. Rear has a central hipped stair tower, tile-hung above the eaves, with a left-hand hip to a vestigial wing with a central stack and sashes each side. INTERIOR: altered on the ground floor mid C20; central rear dogleg stair has early C19 rail, with elliptical arches each side. HISTORY: asymmetrical entrance and fenestration suggest an earlier date, which a more detailed examination might clarify.
