Description

The Three Chimneys Public House is a cottage that dates back to the 16th century, with alterations and extensions from the 18th century and a 20th-century extension at the rear. It features a timber-framed structure with roughcast, and there is exposed timber-framing on the first floor to the left of the south front and on the first floor of the left-hand return front. The building has a steep, plain tiled hipped roof, with a lower half-hipped tiled roof over the right-hand extension.

There is a tall central ridge stack on the main ridge to the left and a tall stack to the left of the extension. The cottage is two stories high, with an irregular arrangement of windows: three on the first floor and two to the right on the ground floor, along with very small windows to the left of center. There are two boarded doors, one on the left and one in the center. Inside, there is significant evidence of timber-framing, along with a large brick chimney breast that has a wooden bressummer.
