Description
Ye Olde Chequers Public House is an inn, now functioning as a public house, dating from the early 18th century, with a southeast block added in the 19th century. The building is constructed of plum brick with some black headers, and features red brick dressings, a moulded plinth, a plat band that is interrupted at the corners, and gauged flat arches. It has a moulded wooden eaves cornice beneath a steep old red tile hipped roof.
On the right side, there is a later red brick lean-to under a catslide roof, and a narrow tall timber frame projection at the southwest, which is dark weatherboarded and gabled. The southeast block, made of brick and flint, also has a hipped roof. The structure is two stories high with five bays, presenting a symmetrical facade facing north. It features narrow flush box sash windows with 4/4 panes and a blocked window above the central entrance. The entrance itself has a six-panel raised and fielded door set within an early 19th-century moulded wooden door surround. The building has a square, double-pile plan and includes two chimneys on the mid-wall, with an additional chimney on the rear wallhead of the southeast block.
