The Old Plantation

The Old Plantation is a building that likely started as a house and is now a public house. It dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. The structure features close-studded timber framing with plaster infilling and has a plain tile roof that runs at right angles to the road. The 16th-century open hall is accompanied by a 17th-century cross-wing on the left. The right section is approximately 1½ storeys high and consists of two timber-framed bays, with a hipped roof sloping to the right. There is a gabled eaves dormer towards the left end, and below it, a 20th-century bay window with a pentice roof. A 20th-century ribbed door is located at the left end.

The left cross-wing stands two storeys high with an attic, built on a stone plinth. It features a jettied front and a left side elevation facing the road, supported by a dragon post with a moulded capital. The gable has plain bargeboards and a central pendant, while the other end of the roof is hipped. A projecting stack is situated on the left side towards the front, with a stone base and tumbled brickwork at the top. The building has a 3-light leaded casement window in the attic, a first-floor oriel window on brackets, which is probably from the 20th century, and a 20th-century bay window on the ground floor. Inside, there is a moulded crown post towards the right end.
