Description
The George Inn, formerly known as Milestone Cottages, is a public house dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. It is stuccoed with stone dressings and has a plain tile hipped roof.
The two-storey north wing and the three-storey section to the south face the London Road. The south wing has stone rusticated flanking quoins, extending the full height on the left and from the first floor on the right. A projecting, single-storey enclosed porch is centrally located, featuring iron columns with Egyptian-style capitals, a fluted and splayed design, a timber entablature, and a flat roof. The porch has a 28-pane glazed front screen with a panelled apron, and flanking half-glazed six-pane doors are positioned to the left and right. The first floor of the south wing features tripartite windows with a central 12-pane sash flanked by narrower 4-pane sashes, each set under a flat arch with eared and shouldered stone architraves and a keystone. A moulded sillband runs along the ground and first floors. The second floor has similar flat arches and architraves, incorporating two-leaf 12-pane casements. A brick dentil detail is visible at the projecting eaves.
The west-facing return of the three-storey section has rusticated quoins above the first floor. First-floor windows mirror the design of those on the front, with a moulded sillband. A sillband is also present at the second floor, with a two-leaf 12-pane casement on the left. The two-storey wing has rusticated quoins and a recessed half-glazed door surrounded by moulded stone architraves. To the left of the door are two 12-pane sashes separated by a blinded edge moulded panel. The first floor features three closely grouped 12-pane sashes. All windows on the west front are set under flat arches with eared and shouldered architraves and keystones.
To the far left is a curved-stone parapet coping with an early 20th-century, single-storey flat roof wing. An outbuilding of painted brick with a pyramidal roof and a small, 18th-century-style bellcote is also present.
