Description
The Stafford Arms Public House and St Chad's House is a group of three cottages that have been converted into a public house and a house. They date back to the 17th century and were altered in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed from coursed and squared stone, topped with machine tile roofs that feature verge parapets for each unit. There are ridge stacks on the left and end stacks on the right.
The two-storey frontage includes the left-hand unit, which has three windows with casements that are widely spaced on the right. There is a boarded door located to the left of center, accompanied by a pent porch. A blocked entrance on the right has been converted into a window. The center unit has a two-window range with 19th-century three-light chamfered mullioned windows. The two ground-floor windows are offset to the right, and there is a single-storey gabled porch on the left, featuring a three-sided front with single-light windows on the diagonal sides and a Tudor-arch central entrance with a boarded door. The roof of this unit has a distinctive mock-medieval smoke vent on the left.
The right unit, known as St Chad's House, is slightly taller than the others. It features a four- and three-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor, with the larger left-hand window displaying a gabled coat-of-arms below the cill. There is a large three-sided single-storey bay window on the right side of the ground floor, which has chamfered mullion and transom windows and a solid stone-block, ogee-shaped pitched roof. The hipped porch, supported by stone brackets reminiscent of the work of G.E. Street, has a boarded door.
The side elevation facing the church is three-storey and includes an 18th-century plank door set within a shouldered architrave, alongside a two-light stone-mullioned window. Above this, there is a two-light round-arched window with chamfered mullions and transoms. This group of buildings serves as a focal point for the village green.
