Description
Nos. 17, 17A, 18, 18A, and 19 Long Brackland is a former inn, now divided into five living units, dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of white brick and features a slate roof with a wide plain eaves soffit. It has two internal chimney-stacks with high plain rectangular shafts.
The exterior consists of two storeys and cellars, with an eight-window range. The first storey has 12-pane sash windows set in plan reveals, with stucco flat arches and projecting stone sills. On the ground storey, there is a shop window on the left without glazing bars, and on the right, there are 6-pane sash windows featuring vertical glazing bars only. The original doorway, which has a segmental-arched stucco head and keystone, now contains a 20th-century door.
The former wide entrance to the yard, which featured an elliptical stucco arch and keystone, has been infilled with brickwork and now includes a 20th-century door and window. Above the original door and the two adjoining windows is a blank panel that once displayed the inn's name. Above this panel is a projecting wrought-iron support with scrolled decoration that held the inn sign. The interior has not been inspected.
