Description
The Old Greyhound is a town house located on Watlington High Street, dating from the late 15th century, with a wing added in the 16th or 17th century. The building features rectangular timber framing with arch braces and a jettied upper floor over a rendered ground floor. It has a gabled roof covered with old tiles and a brick ridge stack. The structure is L-shaped, with a rear right wing, and consists of two storeys with a three-window range.
The entrance includes a plank door to the left passage, while a central late 19th-century four-panelled door, two of which are glazed, is next to a 20th-century window. To the right, there is a late 19th-century three-pane horned sash window and 20th-century casements on the first floor. The rear wing, which dates from the 16th or 17th century, is a one-storey structure with an attic and features a one-bay range with a rear gable wall made of rectangular timber framing.
Inside, the house has a chamfered ogee-stopped beam and a chamfered firebeam on the left, with a central stud partition that includes a cavetto-moulded four-centred doorway. There is also a chamfered beam on the right. The roof is a three-bay queen-post design with clasped purlins and curved windbraces.
