Description
The Stilton Cheese is a public house built around 1800, with additions and alterations made in the mid and late 19th century and the 20th century. It is constructed from coursed and squared ironstone and brick, featuring stone dressings and slate roofs. The building has two gable and one ridge brick stacks and consists of two storeys plus garrets, arranged in an L-plan with three bays.
The street front displays three 19th-century plain sash windows with louvred shutters, and above these are three similar sash windows, all featuring keystones. On the east side, there is an off-centre 20th-century glazed door with a wooden lintel, flanked on the right by a small 19th-century casement window with a keystone. Above this, to the right, is a plain sash window in the garret. The gable includes a central datestone inscribed 'SWS 1800'.
To the left, there is a rear wing that was raised in the 19th century, which contains two 19th-century casement windows with wooden lintels and a 19th-century cross casement with a segmental head on the right. Above, to the right, is a small casement window. The rear of the building features 19th-century two-storey lean-to and gabled additions, along with a flat-roofed 20th-century addition in the return angle.
