Description
Plough House is a house that was formerly a public house, dating from the 15th or early 16th century. It has a timber frame with a painted brick front elevation. The left gable end is made of red brick in Flemish bond, while the right gable end features painted brick on the ground floor and weatherboarding above. The roof is covered with plain tiles and is one storey high, with an attic and cellar on a plinth. The left end bay was raised to two storeys in the 19th century, with projecting eaves that extend across the rest of the building to create a pentice under the first-floor window. The roof is hipped, with a gablet on the right side. There is a multiple brick ridge stack located off-centre to the right and a small projecting stack at the left end. The attic includes a 3-light casement window in the left end bay and three hipped dormers along the rest of the range. The ground floor has an irregular arrangement of five windows: three 3-light casements and two 2-light casements, all with segmental heads. There is a door at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
