Description
The Old Beer House is a former pair of cottages dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. This timber-framed building features later claddings and has one storey with an attic, displaying irregular window arrangements. The roof on the west side is tiled, while the east side is thatched and hipped, with a shafted stack at the junction. It includes two gabled dormers and two eyebrow dormers, with cills positioned at eaves level.
The front wall on the south is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, showing several alterations, while the east side is tile-hung. At the rear, the upper part of the frame is exposed with rendered infilling, and the lower part is brickwork in Flemish bond, featuring three flint panels in the lower section of the east gable. The building has casement windows, one sash window, and a French door. There is a gabled brick porch with an oval-arched opening, which is now filled with a window, and the rear entrances have plain boarded doors.
