The Swan And Salmon

This is a house, formerly the Swan and Salmon Inn, located in Little Stukeley. It dates from the 17th century, with a stone panel on the east gable end bearing the date 1676, alongside initials and a chained swan, displayed in painted form. The rear wall is timber-framed, while the front wall and gable ends are constructed of brick, although the projecting porch is likely timber-framed and finished with roughcast rendering. The roof is tiled, with external end stacks.

The building is arranged with a three-bay plan, incorporating a central hall and stair bay. It has two storeys and attics. The front elevation features flanking pilaster strips and raised window surrounds that are eared, ramped, and accented with keyblocks. Three later sash windows with glazing bars are present. The timber framing is exposed on the porch, which has a gabled design. An original entry to the porch has been replaced with a later sash window, and two further window openings within the porch are blocked. Elliptical windows are visible in the attic storey at the gable ends.

The interior reveals timber framing in the rear wall and partition walls. Inglenook hearths are found in each gable end, with the hearth on the right-hand side now sealed. A fine original staircase, consisting of four flights with a flat section, features flat balusters, moulded rails, and square newel posts topped with faceted finials.
