Description
The Wheatsheaf Inn and Chandlers Cottage is a pair of houses that now function as an inn and a dwelling, dating from the early 18th century. The building is constructed of roughcast brick and features a plain tile roof with two ridge lines and a brick stack at the rear. It has a two-unit plan, standing two storeys tall with an attic and cellar, and presents a three-window range.
On the left side, there is a three-light casement window, while the central protruding porch bay contains a three-light metal casement. To the right, there is a three-over-six sash window. The eaves feature a shallow jetty, and there are three dormers with slate-hung roofs, fitted with 20th-century casements.
The central entrance to the left unit is a 20th-century plank door set within an ornamented architrave, topped by a simple weather hood. To the left of this door, there is a three-light wood mullioned window with glazing bars, and to the right, a tripartite arrangement of sashes with a Gothick head in the center, comprising two-over-two, four-over-four, and two-over-two configurations.
The right-hand unit has a six-panel door to the left, which is recessed in the porch bay and features a simple flat hood. To the right of this door, there is a series of sashes arranged as one-over-one, two-over-four, and one-over-two, with a six-over-six sash at the far right. The right-returned side of the building has 20th-century casements on both the ground and first floors, along with a fixed light with glazing bars in the gable, and a blocked opening on the ground floor.
There is a single-storey wing linked to a gate-tower that has a 20th-century light in an altered opening beneath a timber lintel. Additionally, a single-storey and attic wing to the right features a 20th-century four-panel door and two-light sashes arranged as two-over-four and two-over-four. The roughcast gable dormer above has twin casements. Inside, the building retains exposed ceiling beams.
