Description
Old Swan House is a house that was later used as a public house. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a thatched roof. It has a three-cell lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high, featuring an offset plinth. The entrance is located to the right of the centre, within a 19th-century gabled porch that has a studded plank door and a tiled roof. The windows are 20th-century, with two and three-light glazing bar casements. The axial ridge stack was rebuilt in the 19th century and has separate flues that join at the top. The left gable end has a rebuilt external stack in a lean-to outshut with a pantiled roof. The right gable end features one original shaped bracket for the bargeboards. There is also a 20th-century lean-to addition at the rear. The interior has some altered framing, but the first floor has not been inspected.
