Description
Greyhound House is a house, formerly an inn, dating from around 1600. It features a timber frame with small framing and lath and plaster infill, topped with a tile roof and a brick ridge stack that has three diagonally set square shafts. The building is L-shaped with a passage in the left corner, and it has two storeys and three unequal bays. There are two entrances, each with 19th or 20th-century doors that have five vertical panels and overlights set in moulded wood surrounds.
On the ground floor, there are two 19th-century wooden windows with three lights, mullions, and transoms. The first floor jetties out, supported by a moulded bressumer and moulded posts with scroll brackets. The early 19th-century iron casements have glazing bars. At the rear, the building shows exposed framing with brick infill. There is a timber-framed wing with jowled posts and an external brick stack, as well as a long timber-framed wing with one side faced in 18th or 19th-century brick and a plastered end wall.
Inside, much of the framing and ceiling beams are exposed, and there are two open fireplaces. A straight flight staircase from the mid to late 17th century features turned balusters.
