The White Swan Hotel

The White Swan Hotel is a house that now serves as both a residence and a public house. It dates from the late 16th century, with an early 17th-century refronting and 19th-century alterations and additions. The building is constructed of brick with limestone ashlar dressings, and features timber framing with brick or plastered infill. It has a gabled tile roof, which includes a 19th-century brick end stack and a cross-axial stack. The layout consists of a three-unit plan plus a cross-wing at the right end.

The exterior is two storeys high, plus an attic, and has a four-window range. The left side features two units made of brick with ashlar quoins and a timber-framed jettied gable at the left end. The wing has a jettied first floor and gable. The entrance is located at the left end, marked by a recessed-chamfered ashlar architrave with a renewed lintel and a label above a 20th-century plank door. To the right of the entrance, there is a throughway with paired panelled gates.

To the left of the centre, there are two two-storey canted bay windows with ashlar quoins and timber top cornices. Each floor of these windows features recessed-chamfered mullioned windows with leaded glazing from the 19th or 20th century. The wing has an ashlar-dressed brick base for a similar canted bay window, but with wooden mullions and a narrower first-floor window due to the jetty. The first floor also has a window with a renewed three-light transomed casement above the throughway. The gable at the left end includes a three-light leaded metal casement, and there is a similar window in the gable of the cross-wing. Two hipped roof dormers contain two-light leaded casements.

The right half of the building features close-studded framing on the ground floor and square framing on the first floor, while the right wing displays decorative framing on the first floor and gable head, with similar framing on the left gable head. An enriched wrought-iron sign bracket is also present. The rear of the building has varied gabled wings, some with timber framing in the cross-wing, and includes a three-panel door and a brick addition.

Inside, there are some exposed beams, although much of the interior has been altered.
