Description
The Rising Sun Public House is a late 17th-century brick building that stands two stories high and features two windows with a blank panel above the central door. It has gabled dormers and a parapet. The ground floor right window has been altered, and there is a 19th-century door and porch. To the left, there is an annexe with a gabled dormer that matches those of the main building, constructed in painted weatherboard. On the right side, there is a shed structure made of weatherboard that serves as a billiard room. Inside, the bar has mid-19th-century wood paneling.
