Description
The Reindeer Public House is a building that originally served as a house, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber-framed structure with plastered walls and hipped roofs covered in machine tiles. The building has red brick chimneystacks, with three clustered shafts located at the center of the ridge. There is a long lean-to on the north side, which is partly clad in weatherboard, and the roof extends low over an outshut. The layout is L-shaped, consisting of a two-bay front with a chimney bay and one bay outshut on the northwest.
The exterior has two storeys. On the front elevation, the first floor includes two flush-set 19th-century six-pane sash windows. The ground floor features two 19th-century triple sash windows with divided panes in the center, along with a central 19th-century hip-roofed porch that has a 20th-century half-glazed door. To the right (north), there is a 19th-century lean-to with a three-light bay window that has a mullion and transom, and a 20th-century half-glazed door at the far right. The rear outshut has a hipped end and a Yorkshire sash window on the first floor.
Inside, the bar area has been opened up into one large room. There is an early 20th-century fireplace on the far left, with a modern brick bar counter positioned in front of the fireplace on the rear wall, which is right of center and features a timber bressumer and rebuilt red brick cheeks. The longitudinal beams in the room have a rough chamfer and tongue in each bay. A ledged and battened door with wrought-iron strap hinges leads to the cellar, which has colourwashed brick walls and a concrete floor. A winder stair leads to the first floor, which contains three rooms, including one in the rear outshut that also has a ledged and battened door. The roof features halved and pegged rafters along with strutted purlins.
