Description

The Dog Inn is a public house dating from the 16th century, with early 17th-century and later alterations. It features a main range that is one storey high with attics and has a three-cell plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a plaintiled roof, although the rear slopes were replaced with pantiles in 1986. There are three 19th-century gabled casement dormers and an axial 17th-century chimney made of red brick. The front includes three mid-20th-century flat-roofed splayed bay windows with casements, along with a half-glazed entrance door.

To the left, there is an early 19th-century extension that is timber-framed and weatherboarded, standing two storeys tall with two small-pane sash windows. To the right, a 20th-century clubroom extension features two windows. Inside, the parlour block to the left showcases 16th-century close-studding, with an inserted 17th-century mullioned window in the gable. The first-floor structure has joists laid flat, appearing to be of 17th-century origin, and there are lintelled 17th-century open fireplaces.
