Number 24 And Former Brewery Buildings Attached At Rear

Number 24 and the former brewery buildings attached at the rear are located on Tring High Street. This building complex dates from the early 18th century, with the stucco front added in the early 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick, painted or stuccoed, and features hipped, steeply slated roofs.

The large three-storey house has a symmetrical front with three windows, facing north onto the pavement. The roof extends to the left over a painted brick gateway that bears the name 'TRING BREWERY' in raised stucco letters, framed with reeded details, corner paterae, and lion masks. Above the entrance to the brewery yard, there is a cambered stucco panel with an incised border, set above an elliptical gauged arch with a stucco keystone and imposts. The yard is paved with granite setts.

The house front has a plinth interrupted by the bases of four giant order pilasters, framing a central bay that features a heavy round-arched moulded doorway leading to a six-panel flush-beaded recessed door with a radial margin-light fanlight. This entrance is accessed by two steps, flanked by slightly wider bays with one window on each floor. The cornice above the moulded frames of the first-floor windows has bracketed sills, and the windows are fitted with recessed 10/10 pane sashes. The second floor has three plain square windows with 5/5 pane sashes and incised panelled pilasters above the giant pilasters of the lower part. The wide eaves are adorned with a dentilled cornice.

On the ground floor, a shopfront with a moulded cornice and deep projecting fascia has been inserted to the left of the entrance. There is an elliptical wooden arch leading to the carriageway. The rear wing of the building is two to three storeys high, constructed of painted brick, with a stucco porch block at the angle featuring a full entablature. This rear wing is linked by a single-storey building with sash windows and includes a two-storey long brewery building, which is taller at the south end. The east flank has an area of wooden louvres, and the north end features a wide round-arched doorway with a small-pane glazed fanlight above boarded double doors, along with a three-light small-paned casement above. An ornamental wind-vane is located on the apex of the hipped roof at the north end. This site was known as Brown's Brewery in 1830.
