Description
The Globe Public House is a public house, likely a former house, dating from the early to mid 17th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, topped with a double range of clay plain tiled roofs, although the inner slopes use concrete plain tiles. The building has two storeys, a low attic storey, cellars, and jetties on the northeast and southeast sides, along with a short single-storey extension on the southwest side.
On the exterior, the southernmost gable includes one double-hung sash window with small panes and plain bargeboards. The opposite gable has a two-light casement window with a moulded surround and a cross-glazing pattern. The northeast elevation's first floor features three flush double-hung sash windows with small panes, while the southeast elevation has two similar windows flanking a narrower double-hung sash. The ground floor showcases a 19th-century public house frontage with windows and doors set between pilasters and substantial imitation jetty brackets, with small wooden panelled risers. There is also a brick gabled extension at the front, which is rendered and includes a double-hung sash window with two vertical glazing bars and a small gabled dormer. A large chimney stack is located on the southwest flank.
Inside, the building reveals a remarkable timber frame of the two-and-a-half-storey type and an 'A' frame roof. The paired gables at the front and rear have a reversed assembly at the eaves, and a wide 'stack bay' crosses the centre of the plan. Here, outward-facing jowled posts support the ends of the valley plates. The framing on the ground and first floors is chamfered with lamb's tongue stops and features exceptionally late examples of halved and bridled scarf joints in the top plates, with corners supported on a dragon beam. The first-floor rooms contain a series of contemporary plaster ceilings with plastered beam soffits adorned with rose, fleur-de-lys leaves, and circular pendants, as well as exposed spine beams in the extension.
