Description
The Woolpack Inn is an inn that dates from the 17th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of painted brick and features a plain tile roof. The building has an L-shaped layout and stands two storeys high, with a plat band and a kneelered parapet roof that has end stacks. On the left side, there is a projecting cross wing with a kneelered parapet and a large two-storey battlemented bay window from the 19th century. The gable of this wing has three single lights below the plat band, with a niche above. The rest of the building has irregular fenestration with heavy mullioned windows. There is a 20th-century half-glazed door located in a two-storey porch at the angle of the two wings.
