Description
The Plough Inn is a public house dating to the late 17th century, with extensions added in the early 18th and early 19th centuries. The left bay exhibits light timber framing and features early 18th-century colourwashed chalk rubble construction with brick dressings to the right side. It has a gabled thatched roof and brick end and ridge stacks. The building comprises three units, with a single storey and attic, and a four-window front. It features a segmental brick arch over a two-light casement window on the right; flat brick arches over a blocked door and one- and two-light casements to the left; and two-light half-dormer casements in the attic. A mid-19th century brick bay serves as the main entrance on the right. An early 19th-century two-storey bay, constructed from colourwashed flint and brick with a gabled Welsh slate roof, sits to the left. Internally, the building features chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. The first floor has not been inspected but is likely to contain features of interest.
