Description
The Cock Inn is likely a mid-18th century house, later adapted for use as an inn, with mid-19th century additions and alterations. It is constructed of reddish-brown brick, with roughcast rendering to the front and gable ends, and has a plain tile roof. The original layout was a baffle-entry plan of three bays, which was extended to the right by two bays in the 19th century, evidenced by a straight joint visible at the rear. The front facade has two storeys and five window bays. Late 19th century casement windows are located directly below the eaves, with two similar casements to the left and one to the right of a late 19th century gabled porch. A subsidiary, segmental-headed boarded door is located to the right. There are two prominent rendered ridge stacks; one to the left of the porch and the other to the right of centre, along with a small external end stack on the right. Inside, the earlier 18th century part of the building contains a large stack and the position of a former door is visible. A chamfered spine beam with heavy joists is located to the right.
