Description

The Linden Tree Public House, originally known as The Railway Hotel, is a public house built in the mid-19th century. It features white brick construction, now covered in painted roughcast on the north and east sides, and has a hipped slate roof. The building stands on a corner site and is two storeys tall with cellars.

The exterior includes shallow stone pilasters at the corners and spaced along the main north front, which are topped with a linking frieze below the plain wooden eaves soffit. The north side has a four-window range with 12-pane sash windows set in plain reveals. There is a 20th-century entrance door and an open porch. The east return front features a single 12-pane sash window, while a two-storey roughcast wing has three 12-pane sash windows in flush cased frames on the upper storey, and two canted bays on the ground storey with ornamental cast-iron rails above the cornices. The windows are large-paned sashes.

Two white brick chimney-stacks with paired shafts and corbelled heads rise from just above the eaves on the north side, along with an internal white brick stack that has red brick details. The south gable wall of the wing is made of flint and includes two external red brick stacks and red brick quoins.
