Description
The George Public House is a public house that dates back to the 17th century, with a 19th-century extension and alterations. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure, along with 19th-century flint and gault brick dressings, topped by a plain tiled roof. The building has a large ridge stack to the left of center that has been rebuilt, and another ridge stack on the right side. It stands two stories high with attics, a cellar, and a rear outshut.
The main entrance is located in a lobby entry position, and there is an additional 19th-century bay window to the southwest that slightly projects and has a blocked doorway. Flanking the half-glazed door, which has a wooden doorcase and a hood supported by shaped brackets, are two early 20th-century canted bay windows with hung sashes. To the right, there is a horizontal sliding sash window with a segmental brick arch, and three small casement windows on the first floor.
Inside, the chimney stack has been altered for a passageway and reduced in size, and the ceiling beams are stop-chamfered.
