Description

The Talbot is a coaching inn that has been converted into a restaurant and bars. It dates back to the 16th century, with a front added in the 18th century. The building features exposed timber framing on the inner return fronts, with whitewashed brick infill and brown brick cladding on the front. It has plain tiled roofs that are partly hidden by brick coped parapets.

The structure is two storeys high, with a square corbelled stack on the left and a multiple corbelled stack on the right. To the left, there are two larger bays with tripartite glazing bar sash windows under gauged brick heads, although the ground floor windows have been painted over. To the right of the entrance, there are five bays that rise to three storeys, featuring glazing bar sash windows on the first and second floors, also under gauged brick and rendered key-stoned heads. The second floor windows have end bosses above the metal tie beams.

On the ground floor to the right, there are three sash windows with keystoned gauged brick heads, which have also been painted over. There is a leaded casement window in a whitewashed brick surround to the right of the entrance, flanked by tapering pilasters with Acanthus leaf capitals. The entrance bay is gabled and located to the left of centre, featuring a keyed roundel above a "Venetian" window with gauged brick dressings. There are full-height, arched, panelled coaching doors with a large lantern above on scroll supports, positioned to the left of centre. A scrolled flat hood with metal hangers is located at the right end.

The inner return front displays six framed bays with exposed framing. It includes an early 18th-century fluted Doric Pilaster surround and flat hood to the left of centre. The building has 20th-century casement windows, with a single-storey flat-roofed square bay window on the ground floor to the left. Additionally, there is a single-storey brick wing extending a considerable distance to the rear left.
