Description
The Star Public House is a public house dating from the mid to late 16th century, with a front added in the late 18th or early 19th century. It features a timber frame with incised colourwashed render cladding and a plain tiled roof with a ridge crest. The building has two storeys above a cellar, with a red brick stack on the left end and additional stacks at the rear. The first floor is jettied and has a moulded cornice above the base of the parapet, which partly obscures the roof. There are three tripartite glazing-bar sash windows on the first floor and one lower 12-pane glazing-bar sash window to the right. The ground floor has fixed windows on either side of the centre, framed by pilaster strips. The central entrance features a half-glazed and panelled door, with another door to the right. Inside, there is a very large chamfered spine beam in the cellar ceiling at the rear of the building, and spine beams along with some wall plates are exposed in the first floor rooms.
