Description
The Chequers Inn public house is a building from the mid and late 17th century, consisting of two separate constructions. It features whitewashed clunch with some carstone and brick dressings, topped with red pantiled roofs. The structure is two storeys high with attics and has a lobby entrance on the west side, while the earlier build is located to the east. Both sections include details from around 1900 and the 20th century.
On the ground floor, there are three plate glass windows, each divided into two upright glazing bar sections for the half sash windows, with the west side having a sash window with a single glazing bar. The first floor has four plate glass sash windows, also with a single glazing bar. There are two 20th-century part glazed doors, each sheltered by bracketted pantiled hipped hoods. The eastern build features 17th-century brick quoins on the west gable and along the straight joint with the western build, as well as a blocked first floor window that has been brick stitched. The western build has a first floor plat-band and a blocked brick dressed window on the west gable. The roof is steeply pitched, with one axial stack on the west and one gable stack at the east end.
