George House

George House is a 17th-century inn, later converted into a house, located on Henley-in-Arden’s High Street. It has undergone alterations over time, including an early 20th-century refronting that replaced an earlier 18th-century facade. The building is constructed of brick with a timber-framed front featuring partly painted brick infill, and has a gabled old tile roof. It follows a double-fronted plan with a passageway at the right end.

The exterior is two storeys plus an attic, with a three-window range. Wide eaves are supported by straight brackets. The main entrance has a door with linenfold panels within a moulded frame, leading to an open porch with braced posts and a balcony with splat balusters. The passageway entrance to the right has no door, and a half arch with a four-centred head marks its entrance, also providing access to the adjacent property at number 121. Windows have leaded glazing; those on the first floor have rectangular panes, while others have lozenges. The main entrance is flanked by three-light wood mullioned-and-transomed windows with fluted friezes. The first floor features two large rectangular oriels flanking the balcony, each with hipped tile roofs over a 1:3:1-light transomed window arrangement, and a small window above the passageway. Two gabled roof dormers have three-light casements. The timber framing is close-studded, incorporating bracing using timber taken from a 16th-century building.

The interior contains a dog-leg staircase with a moulded closed string and handrails. It has turned balusters and square newels, two of which feature round-headed panels: one displaying initials "L H" and the other dated 1699. The upper flight and landing balustrade have spiral-on-vase balusters. The landing also incorporates a likely medieval deep cambered lintel with a shield in a circular motif, flanked by tracery.
