High street (west side)
No 24, (formerly listed as The Old George Inn)
4.12.51
Gv
II

Inn, now a house. C16 or earlier, mid C19 Gothic front. Timber frame roughcast, south gable of panelled fan pargetting, front of red brick with diaper and chamfered white brick dressings and plinth, half-timbered jettied part on right. Steep old red tile roofs. Probably a large open-hall house in origin, with two storeyed gabled crosswing at north, square rear kitchen block at southwest and gabled stair turret in the angle. High carriageway on north with a room over, separately roofed but with a mock half-timbered C19 jettied gable added on street front duplicating the original jettied timbered gable of the crosswing.

Picturesque irregular two storeys and cellar street front on east, five windows long. On the left a three window part corresponding to the former hall with a heavy Tudor-style door up two steps on the right of a central two storeyed rectangular gabled bay window, with a further window beyond. There is a higher-set window in the brick lower floor fronting the crosswing with a flush cross-window in the jettied upper floor with heavy moulded bargeboard to the red brick nogged timber framed gable. This has heavy bull-nosed joist ends but slighter joists were used when the C19 duplicated gable was built alongside to the north. The main range has a wide-span clasped-purlin roof replacing the original, with a long curved soot-blackened timber incorporated. Clasped-purlin roof to kitchen with a large gable chimney. Central chimney in the hall nearer north end. Original framework of rear wall with heavy diamond shaped mullioned two-light window preserved in depth of structure. Moulded timber corbel added to support axial beam in hall. Formerly The Old George Inn.
