Description
The Old Plough is a house that was formerly a public house and smithy, dating from the early 17th century. It has two storeys and features three windows, arranged in a lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a plantiled roof that includes an axial chimney. This chimney has 19th-century diagonally-set square flues resting on a 17th-century chamfered square base made of red brick. The windows are a mix of 19th and 20th-century casements, and there is a 20th-century panelled entrance door located in a 20th-century front lean-to extension.
