Ye Olde Rose Inne

Ye Olde Rose Inne is an inn that has been converted into restaurants and bars. It dates back to the early 15th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a combination of timber framing and painted brick, topped with old tile gabled roofs. Originally designed in an H-plan, it has been altered to an L-plan, with the front section partly rebuilt in the late 20th century to replicate the 18th-century façade that was destroyed by fire. However, it still retains two timber-framed bays. Behind this, there are six additional framed bays, with the last being a separately framed gabled crosswing. There is also a former brick stable block adjacent to the inn, along with 20th-century extensions in the internal angle.

The building stands two storeys high, with some one-storey extensions. The road front features a black painted plinth, a bracketed cornice, and a parapet with a small coping. It has eight bays, including a wide angular bay on the first floor to the left of the centre, which projects on cast iron columns over a recessed entry that has a pair of large six-panelled doors flanked by Doric pilasters. The windows are sash style with glazing bars. The rear of the building is irregular in shape. The former stable block has an old tile gabled roof and a chimney that has been cut down at the ridge, with two two-light and one three-light casements featuring glazing bars in openings that have chamfered brick jambs and heads with plain stops, along with wooden cills. The ground floor windows are similar but lack chamfered openings.

Inside, there are large, high-quality timbers visible mostly on the ground floor, including heavy joists and large principal beams, some plain and some stop-chamfered with lamb's tongue stops. The first floor is open to the roof and features mostly 20th-century softwood timbers arranged in a traditional manner, while the original timbers remain in the principal roof trusses. The end crosswing, which has two framed bays, includes heavy jowled posts, a redundant crown post, and clasped side purlins, along with 20th-century replacement rafters and curved windbraces.
