Description
The Craven is an inn that has been converted into a house, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It is constructed of uncoursed chalk rubble with brick dressings, and features early to mid-18th century brick on the left gable wall. The building has a thatched roof with brick stacks and a three-unit lobby-entry plan. It stands two storeys high and has a five-window range. A late 20th century porch and door have been added. The windows are C20 casements with timber lintels and segmental and flat brick arches above them. The roof is half-hipped with ridge and front lateral stacks. Inside, there are chamfered beams and a large chalk stack with an adjoining wooden newel rising on the other side of the door. The roof structure is a four-bay design, although it is obscured. At the rear left, there is a C20 brick and tile wing. The building was formerly known as The Craven Arms Inn.
