Description
The Green Dragon Public House is a public house located in Thetford, dating from the early 19th century, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of flint with gault brick dressings on the stable block and has a gault brick facade facing the Market Place. It features slate and pantile roofs and stands two storeys high with a dormer attic, organized in three bays.
The central entrance consists of a glazed door set beneath an open pediment supported by consoles, accompanied by a plain fanlight without glazing bars. There are two 20th-century sash windows on either side of the door, both positioned under gauged skewback arches. To the far right, there is a blocked door. The first floor has three similar sash windows. The gabled slate roof is hipped into the north return, which also has a blocked door and three various windows. The gabled roof includes a ridge stack.
At the rear, there is a former stable yard accessible through a flat carriage arch, featuring three first-floor sash windows with 6/6 glazing bars and a gabled pantiled roof. The interior has little of interest.
