Bluecoat Boy Public House

The Bluecoat Boy Public House is a public house dated 1620, with extensions from the 18th century and early 20th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered, with applied timber on the upper storey and raised plastered panels. The front has plaintile roofs, while the rear is covered with asbestos tiles. The building is two storeys tall and includes parts with cellars and attics. The original 17th-century section has a continuous jetty, as does the 20th-century wing. The ground floor currently has all eight window openings temporarily boarded over, with three part-glazed doors, one for each section of the building. On the first floor, the 20th-century wing has a four-light mullion window, with the outer two lights being small paned and a shallow flat-roofed small paned dormer above the centre two lights. The main building has three similar small paned mullion windows, two of which are three-light and one is two-light, along with a similar three-light mullion window in the right-hand bay. There are also two small-paned two-light flat-headed dormers on the main building. A moulded bressumer, decorated with roses, pomegranates, and foliate motifs, is dated 1620, with a similar reproduction bressumer on the 20th-century wing. The rear features added gabled wings, with the ground floor in brick and the upper storey pebble-dash rendered. The left-hand return is treated similarly to the main facade.

Inside, the ground floor has all original work covered, except for transverse beams with ovolo mouldings and run-out stops. The first floor reveals exposed jowelled posts, fragments of studwork, and stop-chamfered transverse beams. The right-hand bay, which has been altered and extended to the rear, retains a clasped purlin roof with reduced principals. The roof of the main building has not been inspected.
