Description
The George Inn is a public house dating from the 17th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is underbuilt with painted brick and has plaster on the first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a plinth and has a modillion eaves cornice. The roof is half-hipped to the right and includes one hipped dormer, with chimney stacks located at the rear center and projecting from both ends.
On the first floor, there are five glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has three 6-light 20th-century mullioned and transomed windows. The central entrance consists of two half-glazed doors flanked by a three-light mullioned window and a panelled apron, all adorned with pilasters and a cornice above. It is believed that the inn predates 1679, as noted in E. Selby's "Teynham Manor and Hundred."
