Description
The Cock Public House is a public house dating from the mid to late 18th century, with a 20th-century extension. It is constructed of whitewashed red brick and features a hipped tiled roof. The building has two storeys and three windows, with a central entrance that includes a later gabled porch. On the ground floor, there is a three-light casement window with a cambered head on the left and a horizontal sliding sash window with a cambered head on the right. The building has a plinth and three first-floor three-light casement windows, all with cambered heads. The eaves are dentilled, and there is a large external stack on the left end with offsets in a later hipped outshut. To the right, there is an external stack connected to a weatherboarded slate-roofed link leading to a weatherboarded outbuilding that projects forward, featuring doors and two-light casement windows. A catslide roof covers a lean-to at the rear of the outbuilding. At the rear of the main building, there is a lean-to addition and a 20th-century tile-hung two-storey block with a hipped roof.
