The Greyhound

The Greyhound is a house that served as the Greyhound Inn until around 1970. It has a core dating from around 1600 and underwent significant alterations in the late 18th century and mid 20th century. Originally, it was built in a two-cell end-chimney style and has two storeys, with the upper storey primarily located within the roof space. The building is timber-framed and rough-cast, with a pantiled roof that was once thatched. It features both an axial and a gable chimney made of red brick. The windows are small-pane casements from the 19th century, with some replacements from the 20th century. There is a 20th-century hipped pantiled entrance porch with a boarded door. Inside, plain 17th-century framing is exposed, with floor joists laid flat and blocked small diamond-mullioned windows at the first storey beneath the eaves. The roof has a good wind-braced clasped-purlin structure. The open fireplace in the hall, which has been altered, was originally located externally on the left-hand gable wall. The original right-hand gable wall reportedly had a plaster date of 1714, and a further cell was added to the right in the late 18th century. Major remodelling in the mid-20th century includes several flat-roofed extensions at the rear.
