Description
The Plough Inn is a public house located on Maidstone Road in Sutton Valence. It dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with a later 19th-century wing added. The building is timber framed and weatherboarded, while the wing has a rendered ground floor with banded plain and pointed tiles above. It features a plain tile roof. The 19th-century wing is positioned at right angles to the left gable end and projects to the front, with a rear return wing to the right of the main range.
The inn has two storeys and attics set on a rendered plinth. The roof abuts the wing to the left and is hipped to the right, with a hip returning. There is a half-hip on the left wing. A projecting brick stack is located on the right side of the left wing, with additional stacks at the rear of the wing, at the centre of the rear of the main range, at the ridge of the right wing, and projecting from the right gable end.
The building has two hipped dormers and features irregular fenestration with three sashes: one 16-pane window on the gable of the left wing and two 4-pane windows on the main range. The main entrance has a central panelled door with two top lights, all under a flat corniced hood. The interior has not been inspected.
