Description
The Swan Inn is a timber-framed and plastered building with an 18th-century brick front that has been painted. It stands two storeys high and features a three-window range with double-hung sashes that include glazing bars. The outer windows are the upper parts of former two-storeyed canted bays. The ground storey has been extended with a modern bar front. The roof is tiled with old tiles and has a steep catslide at the rear. A modillion eaves cornice runs around the bays at the front.
