Description
The Lord Louis Public House is a 17th-century building located on the south side of High Street in Stanstead Abbots village. It features a timber-framed and plastered exterior with a weatherboarded apron at door head level. The building has a steep old red tiled gabled roof, a large red brick external gable chimney on the east side, and a lateral chimney on the rear wall at the west end.
The structure is two stories high with three windows on the front. There is a short two-story rear wing at the west end, which has its own gable chimney. A staircase with pitched roof end weatherboarding rises in the angle of the main building. The front is asymmetrical, with a door in the middle that is sheltered by a 19th-century tiled gabled canopy supported by curved brackets. To the left of the door is a triple Yorkshire sliding casement window, and to the right is a shallow canted bay with a two-light Yorkshire casement window.
Above the door, but slightly to the left, is a large painted wall plaque depicting a stagecoach and four horses. There are three-light casement windows on either side of the plaque and a two-light window at the far right. Inside, there is a weatherboarded internal wall on the upper floor of the rear wall of the front range, along with exposed thin timbers. The Lord Louis Public House is part of the group of buildings along High Street.
