Description
The Greyhound is a public house, originally a house and possibly a priest's house, dating from the 16th century. It is timber framed with colourwashed render and has a plain tiled roof, which was likely thatched originally. The building has two storeys.
On the entrance front, which was refaced in the 19th century, there is a doorway located to the left of centre. To the left of the doorway is a 4-light 19th-century casement window, and to the right are a 4-light and a 3-light casement window. The first floor features four 2-light casements. The roof has a single-flue stack at right of centre, a cross-axial stack with two flues at left of centre, and another 2-flue stack at the left-hand gable end.
The left-hand gable end has lean-tos on both sides of the stack, which has offsets. The wall behind this is timber framed with brick nogged infill and includes a jowled corner post on the left. The right-hand gable end features a 19th-century outshut on the right with a 2-light casement on the left, and a 3-light casement window on the first floor, which may date from the 19th or 20th century. There is also a hatch doorway leading to the attic.
At the rear, the ground floor has English bond brick walling that is blank. Above an offset, the wall is close studded with ogee-arched braces, a decoratively carved sill plate, and nogged brick infill that has been colourwashed. There are two-light and 4 x 2 pane sash windows inserted in old surrounds near the centre and at the far right, respectively, along with three further blocked windows.
Inside, the bar areas have chamfered ceiling beams with plain joists. The original two rooms have been opened up to create one space, while another ground floor room retains chamfered and ogee end stopped joists. Some first floor rooms have raised ceilings and jowled wall posts.
