Description
The Robin Hood Public House is a late 17th or early 18th century timber-framed building. It is built with roughcast walls, with the front ground floor weatherboarded. The steep-pitched roof is covered in old red tiles, which extend over a rear outshot, although the front slope is now slated. The building is two storeys high and three windows wide, facing west. The layout includes a central entrance and end chimneys. A large red brick external gable chimney is located to the north, and an internal gable chimney to the south. The front elevation is symmetrical, featuring three flush box sash windows with moulded architraves and 6/6 panes. On the ground floor are two large canted bay windows, and a half-glazed door within a moulded surround featuring a frieze and moulded cornice. The interior features a floor supported by cross-beams, and high-set purlins in the roof. One-storey rear wings are present but not considered of specific architectural interest.
