Description
The Dolphin Public House is a building that was originally a house, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of whitewashed brick and features a plain tiled mansard roof with tile-hung ends. The building has two storeys and attics, which are accentuated by three flat-roofed dormers set on a rendered plinth. To the left of the centre is a large, enlarged square chimney stack.
The first floor has three 16-pane glazing-bar sash windows, while the ground floor features three 16-pane sash windows with cambered heads. There are part-glazed double doors on the right side under cambered heads, with similar doors to the left beneath a shallow open gable hood supported by brackets.
To the left, there is a 20th-century single-storey extension with a hip roof, also made of whitewashed brick. The right-hand return front includes three dormer windows in the roof, two windows on the first floor, one window between the floors, and one window on the ground floor. There are double half-glazed doors beneath a 20th-century gable. At the rear, there is a parallel single-storey range.
