Description
The Chequers Inn is a public house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It features a timber-framed structure with colourwashed brick infill on the first floor, while the ground floor is partly cased and partly rebuilt in colourwashed brick. The building has thatched roofs and consists of two linked parallel gabled blocks, with the front block obscuring the right part of the rear block. The earlier rear block is two storeys high, while the front block is one storey with attics. The front block has a single two-light casement window with glazing bars on each floor, and an eyebrow dormer window in the attic. There is a 20th-century off-centre door, along with a rebuilt brick ridge stack and an external gable end stack on the left side. The rear block features a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light casement window on the first floor, both with glazing bars, and has a red brick double ridge stack.
