Description

The Three Tuns is a public house dating from the 17th century and late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tiled roof and features two parallel ranges. The building has two storeys and an attic, topped with a hipped roof that includes one hipped dormer and a stack at the right end. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has two wooden casement windows and a central projecting 20th-century porch. This porch has a globular traceried window and half-glazed doors on either side. At the rear, there is a 17th-century wing that has a large offset stack on a plinth with string courses and a hipped dormer facing into the roof valley. The left return of the building features three hipped dormers and three glazing bar sash windows on each floor, along with an outshot at the left end.
