Description
The Old Duke Public House is a house that has been converted into a public house, dating from around 1780. It features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, brick lateral stacks, and a hipped roof covered in pantiles. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the late Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a basement and a three-window range.
Situated on a corner site, the left return has a three-window entrance range, with rusticated quoins leading up to a cornice and parapet. The lower section of the ground floor has clinker render. The ground floor windows are from the 19th century and include semicircular-arched mullion plate-glass windows, along with a panelled door that has an overlight. Above these, there are five stepped voussoirs leading to plate-glass sashes. To the right, there is a 19th-century one-window extension that features a three-light window on the ground floor and a left-hand doorway. The first floor has paired plate-glass sashes with seven stepped voussoirs above, while the second floor has a single sash with five stepped voussoirs. The interior has not been inspected.
