Description
The Rushbrooke Arms Public House is a building with a mid-16th century core that has undergone several alterations over the years. It stands at one and a half storeys with attics and features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, with 20th-century pargetting in panels. The roof is thatched and includes thatched gabled casement dormers. A 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick displays a saw-tooth pattern on its flues.
The building has 20th-century small-pane three-light casements and glazed panelled entrance doors. The original 16th-century core consists of two phases; the jettied west gable-end, which is now exposed in the later public bar, features arch-braced close-studding and a simple crownpost roof. The second phase includes a coupled rafter roof. Back-to-back open fireplaces were inserted in the 17th century.
In the 18th century, a timber-framed cell was added to the east end, and in the early 19th century, a public bar was added to the west end, which has flint walling that is now rendered, along with 20th-century small-pane cross-windows. The building was known as "The Waggoner" in the 19th century.
