Description
The Ostrich Public House, with an attached cottage on the east side, is a public house that dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, built on an earlier core. It features a façade of Flemish bond red brick and red pantiles, with a rubble flint west gable dressed in brick. The building is two storeys high and has five windows, along with two wings at right angles at the rear.
The ground and first floors have three irregularly spaced three-light 19th-century Holkham estate cast-iron casement windows with glazing bars, set under cambered arches. There are also two blocked first-floor windows. The off-centre door, dating from around 1900, has two arched upper glazed lights and a rectangular fanlight, while there is an off-centre boarded door for the carriage entrance. A first-floor plat-band runs along the building, and the end gable features moulded kneelers that suggest the line of an earlier jettied first floor.
The roof has three attic gabled two-light cast-iron casement dormer windows, with eaves kneelers and brick coped parapets that include two end gable stacks. The carriage entrance contains two stop-chamfered transverse beams and crude joists, leading to a two-storey flint wing on the west side. The two-storey brick wing on the east side has an exposed through purlin roof with wind bracing. The attached two-storey cottage on the east features details from around 1900.
