Description
The Rose and Crown Public House is an early 17th century building located on Nayland Road in Great Horkesley. It is timber framed in a T-plan and has a front made of painted brick laid in Flemish bond. The roofs are ridged and gabled, featuring a hipped crosswing, with one red brick chimney stack centrally located on the long range and another against the north wall of the north wing.
On the ground floor, there are four pairs of 10-pane hornless sash windows set under segmental brick arches. The first floor has matching pairs of 8-pane sashes that are vertically aligned. The eaves, troughing, and a hipped outshut are present at the north end. Inside, there is a heavy chamfered oak frame that does not correspond to the fenestration or existing levels. A notable feature is a corner cupboard with pierced gothic details located in the room at the southeast ground floor.
