Description
The Grapes is a pair of houses, likely originally a coaching inn, dating from 1713. The building is constructed of whitewashed render with coloured washed stone dressings, and has a Swithland slate roof with two brick ridge stacks. The gables are coped and shouldered. The front features two-and-a-half storeys with five two-light wooden mullion and transom windows on each floor, most with horizontal sliding sashes. There are five gabled dormers, each with moulded eaves.
The ground floor includes a part-glazed door with overlight, a 20th-century three-light window with top lights, a four-panelled sash window, a carriage entrance with a segmental arch, a four-panelled door with overlight, and two two-light mullion and transom windows, the left one wider. Most of the windows have lintels with slightly projecting keystones, rusticated stone jambs, and stone sills. The inscription "THE GRAPES" is carved in raised letters above the central arch, below which is the date 1713. A wing extends to the rear of the building.
