Description
The Old Plough is a house, formerly a public house, with an attached stable and coach-house range. The house was rebuilt in the 19th century, dated 1838 with a plaque above the door, which also bears the initials “RM” and a crude inscription “AoD 1575 IK”. The stable range is likely from the earlier 19th century.
The house is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with a Collyweston slate roof and brick chimneys to the gables and centre. It stands at a right angle to the road, with a blind right bay. The left bays have three-light wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars to the ground floor, and three three-light leaded casements to the first floor, with leading missing from the central lights in two of these. A top-lit flush-panelled door is positioned between the left bays. A 20th-century canted bay window and a three-light wooden casement are located in the gable end facing the road. All openings feature wooden lintels.
The stable range is built of ironstone ashlar. The section closest to the house has two stable doors and a two-light window, all with stone lintels and keyblocks. Further along are a bay with a board door, and a small coach-house with a simple entry.
