Description
The Swan Inn is an inn that dates back to the early 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber-framed structure with painted brick and rear extensions made of flint with gault brick dressings, topped with plain tile roofs. The building has a large ridge stack to the left of the center and another stack in front of the ridge on the right side.
It is two storeys tall and follows a lobby entry plan, with a parapet gable on the left and a hipped roof on the right, accented by a dentil brick eaves cornice. The main entrance has a 19th-century panelled door and a 20th-century open porch supported by square pillars. There is an additional entrance on the east side featuring a wooden doorcase with clustered attached columns and a hood supported by shaped brackets.
On the ground floor, there are five hung sash windows, three of which have three lights. The first floor has six recessed sixteen-paned hung sash windows. Inside, some of the timber framing is exposed. The inn was sold in 1823 to Henry Mason, a brewer from Cambridge.
