The Cocked Hat Restaurant and Hotel, Binley Common House

The Cocked Hat Restaurant and Hotel, formerly known as Binley Common House, is a farmhouse that has been converted into a restaurant and hotel. It dates from the late 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the mid to late 19th century, as well as changes in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of Flemish bond brick, featuring a sandstone splayed plinth, a moulded string course, and alternating quoins. It has a plain-tile hipped roof with deep eaves.

The structure is U-shaped, with wings extending to the garden at the rear. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a symmetrical front with a four-window range. The entrance features a 20th-century moulded six-panelled door set within a simple painted moulded stone doorcase topped with a heavy dentil cornice. The windows are painted stone chamfered cross windows with glazing bars, and the outer bays are widely spaced. There are four hipped roof dormers with 20th-century two-light casements that also have glazing bars.

To the left, there is a single-storey wing built at right angles, which has an end stack and late 20th-century windows. The right external stack is adorned with a moulded stone string course and cornices. The garden front has four bays, with a recessed centre that features a late 20th-century six-panelled door. This door is framed by a painted moulded stone eared architrave, which includes a pulvinated frieze and pediment, with a panel of sandstone blocks above. The flanking windows have late 20th-century top-hung sashes, and the wings display brick flat arches with painted keystones and 19th-century rusticated painted rendered flat arches. The wings also feature 19th-century canted bays on the ground floor and four 20th-century two-light nipped roof dormers. A small single-storey range from the 19th century is located at right angles on the right side.

Inside, the building has been altered but still retains a dog-leg staircase with turned balusters.
