Description
The original shape of the public house can be seen in its truncated west gable but it has been significantly extended to the back and side. Its front elevation has been rebuilt with an ornate, rustic, mock Elizabethan feel - large timber bay windows, overhanging upper floors, black and white colour scheme, leaded windows. The roof has gables and chimneys. Heavy joinery, carvings and moulded plaster detailing. The rear is a mix of later subordinate extensions with an early stable-like outhouse in poor condition.
