Description
The Chequers Public House is a 17th-century public house constructed with a timber frame and covered in colourwashed roughcast render. It features a clay tile roof and has a T-plan layout with two storeys. On the southeast elevation, the right-hand gable has a three-light casement window with glazing bars on each floor, while the left-hand block has the same window style, plus an additional single light window on the first floor. There is a plank door located near the junction with the right-hand block, aligned with a red brick multiple ridge stack. A 19th-century addition is present at the northwest end of the right-hand block, and there are lean-to additions on the northeast side. Additionally, there are single-storey outbuildings with slate roofs that project from the southwest.
