Description
The Spread Eagle Public House is an early 18th-century coaching inn, with a cross-wing dating to the 17th century. The main range is of painted brick and plastered timber-frame construction, and is linked to the north by a cartway to a timber-framed and plastered cross-wing. The building has plain tile roofs. The street facade of the main range has three first-floor hung sash windows with glazing bars, and two flat-roofed, canted bay windows with hung sashes and glazing bars flanking the original 18th-century eight-panelled door. Chimney stacks rise from painted brick quoins to the north and south. The cross-wing has one horizontal sliding sash window and a canted bay window with hung sashes and glazing bars, with a modern plain tile roof and a ridge stack. The interiors have been altered, but retain two corner chimney pieces in the main range and a sealed inglenook hearth in the cross-wing.
