Description
The Chequers Inn is a late medieval timber-framed building that has been refaced with red brick and grey headers. It stands two storeys high with attics and features a steeply pitched hipped tiled roof, topped by a 17th-century brick chimney stack. The building has three gabled dormers and a total of four windows, which include two casement windows and two sash windows with intact glazing bars. There are bays on both the ground and first floors at each end of the front, as well as in the centre, where the ground floor of the central bay has been converted into a doorway.
