The Old Pheasant

The Old Pheasant is a public house dating from the mid-18th century, with alterations and a rear extension made in the 20th century. The front is constructed from coursed ironstone rubble, while the left side features limestone rubble, and the gable ends are finished with colourwashed render and roughcast. The building has a Collyweston slate roof with coped gables and brick chimneys on the front and right gable ends. It is designed in an L-plan and has one and a half storeys with three bays, the left bay being gabled and projecting. The right bay and the return of the left bay contain two-light wooden casement windows, while the centre bay has a 20th-century two-light wooden casement on the first floor and a 20th-century leaded cross casement below. All windows have dressed limestone surrounds with keyblocks on the lower windows, and the keyblock of the central window is moulded. The upper windows are semi-dormers with raking roofs. There is a 20th-century canted projection with a leaded window at the angle between the left bays. Between the right bays is a six-panelled door with bonded ironstone jambs and lintel, and there is another door with an ironstone lintel in the return of the left bay. The interior has been altered, and there is a large 20th-century rear extension.
