Swan House Inn And Attached Outbuilding

Swan House Inn, now a restaurant, dates from around 1700 or later and has undergone some alterations. The building is timber-framed and roughcast rendered, featuring a plain tiled roof with a slated rear lean-to. It has a red brick stack on the west gable and a large rectangular stack detached from the gable, which has an exposed ground floor hearth to the east, previously part of a building to the east. The inn is two storeys high, with attics and cellars.

The facade is symmetrical, featuring a central doorway with a stone step, an 18th-century raised and fielded panelled door with a moulded wooden architrave, a rectangular fanlight, and a flat canopy supported by shaped brackets. There are four ground floor flush-framed hung sash windows with margin glazing bars, three first floor twelve-paned hung sash windows, and three hipped casement dormer windows.

Inside, the staircase remains in its original position opposite the main entrance. There is a 20th-century single storey extension to the west that connects the house to a small barn, which is partly weatherboarded and has a plain tiled and thatched roof. The Swan was rebuilt in the 18th century on the site of the earlier Swan Inn, which was destroyed in a village fire in 1634.
