Description

The Old Buck's Head Inn is a public house that likely dates from the 16th to 17th century, with a refacing in the 18th century and incorporating a former shop from around 1800. It features painted brick over a timber frame and has a plain tiled roof. The main range is between 1.5 to 2 storeys tall and has an irregular arrangement of windows. There is a central entry that leads to a rear courtyard, which was enlarged in the 20th century.

The left section of the building was probably once a dwelling, characterized by a round-arched doorway on the right and a 4-pane sash window next to it. There is also a small possible fire window to the right, with two additional 4-pane sash windows above that interrupt a string course. A dormer window has been inserted, cutting into the eaves, and square-panelled timber framing is visible on the side wall.

The main part of the building to the right of the carriage entry has an early 19th-century front, featuring a central door flanked by shallow canted bay windows with small panes and a continuous architrave above, which partly conceals the string course. There are traces of blocked openings to the right, including a single ring segmental head that may have been a former doorway and a 12-pane sash window. The roof has three dormer windows, and there are gable end and axial stacks.

To the right, there is an early 19th-century building that has been incorporated into the inn. This section is three storeys high with a single-window range that projects forward of the earlier building line. It has an early 19th-century shop front with a doorway on the left and a small-paned window with an architrave and fascia above. There is a 16-pane sash window above, with 9 panes in the attic storey, featuring a flat-arched gauged brick head. The gable end has a stack, and there is a lower bay to the right that was possibly once a passage but is now infilled with a doorway on the ground floor and a 4-pane sash window above.
