Description

The Wheatsheaf Public House is a public house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the early 20th century. The building features false timber-framing with roughcast panels, likely over timber-framing, and has a 20th-century plain-tile roof. There is a brick ridge stack located to the left of the center and an end stack to the right. The structure is single storey with an attic and has a three-window range. There are 20th-century sash doors positioned to the left and right of the center, each with lean-to hoods supported by wooden brackets. To the left and to the left of center are two-light casements, while the center and right have 20th-century three-light casements. A gabled dormer is located to the left, with gabled half-dormers at the center and right. The interior is noted for its cruck construction, with much of the timber-framing visible on the ground floor.
