Description
The Wheatsheaf Hotel is a public house dating from the early to mid-18th century, with alterations from the 19th century and extensive additions to the rear in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of Flemish bond red brick with painted stone dressings and has a Welsh slate roof featuring one central ridge chimney. The building is three stories high with a symmetrical three-bay front. It has rusticated quoins that do not extend to full height and a band at the first floor. The end bays feature 19th-century three-light casements with cambered brick heads and stone keyblocks, while the top storey has simple casements due to the roof being raised by 13 courses. The entrance has a moulded doorcase with panelled soffits and a segmental hood supported by cut brackets. The large brick extensions at the rear are not of special interest. Inside, there is a three-board door leading to the staircase and exposed ceiling beams.
