Description
The Chequers Inn is a public house that originated as a house in the 17th century and was refronted around 1830 to 1840. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with a 19th-century stucco front. The building features a gabled stone slate roof and has a 20th-century brick stack at the right end. It has an L-shaped plan with a rear left wing and stands two storeys tall, with a two-window range. A Welsh-slate pentice roof covers the 20th-century door and flanking bay windows, which have 20th-century casements. The first floor displays mid-19th-century two-light cross windows. At the rear left, there is a two-storey wing from the mid to late 18th century, built from similar materials. Inside, the building has stop-chamfered beams, although the first floor was not inspected.
