Description
The George Inn is a public house built in the mid-19th century. The front elevation is made of painted brick, while the rear features red and grey brick. It has a double-depth layout and stands two storeys high, with flat eaves soffits supported by paired Ionic modillions. The roof is hipped, with the hips returning to both the right and left sides, and there are two additional rear hips. A projecting brick stack is located on the left side, with a rear stack on the right. The front has a regular arrangement of three windows, featuring horned four-pane sashes in open boxes, with the central window being smaller. The ground-floor windows have segmental heads and louvred shutters. The entrance is a central half-glazed door, also with a segmental head. To the left, there is a long single-storey addition made of painted brick, topped with a plain tile roof that is half-hipped to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
