Description
The Goat Inn is a house that has been converted into a public house. It dates from the 16th century, with an eastern block added in the 19th century. The building features a timber frame set on a brick plinth, with roughcast walls and a weatherboarded apron at the front. The eastern block has a painted brick ground floor and a roughcast first floor, all topped with steep old red tile roofs.
The structure consists of a hall range with one and a half storeys, a higher two-storey eastern crosswing, a later single-storey projecting western crosswing, and a two-storey brick eastern block. It is slightly set back from the road and faces south. The hall range includes two gabled dormers at the eaves and a three-light casement window on the ground floor. The gable of the eastern crosswing features a four-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window on the first floor. The main entrance is located in the gable of the lower western crosswing, next to the three-light window, which has a chimney on its western gable. The eastern block has an entrance on the left side and a window on each floor on the right side, with a two-light window and a two-over-two sash window on the first floor. The rear wall of this block has a central chimney. Inside, the building retains exposed framing in the walls and axial joists.
