Description
The Boot Inn is a 17th-century inn that was altered in the 1890s. It features flint and limestone bands, a tiled roof, and brick stacks. The building is single storey with an attic and has two windows with casements. The central 20th-century door is topped with a flat wooden hood supported by brackets. On either side of the door are late 19th-century three-light ovolo-mullioned casements with hoodmoulds. The attic includes two late 19th-century gabled dormers, which have three-light, two-light, and three-light ovolo-mullioned casements with corniced dripstones. The right side of the building has a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement with hoodmoulds on both the ground and first floors, as well as a one-light ovolo-moulded casement in the loft. The rear range is a late 19th-century addition, designed in a similar style, with chequered flint and stone and tile-hanging. The left side has a 20th-century door to the right and a late 19th-century range to the left that includes a porch, outshut, and gable dormer. Inside, there are chamfered beams with jewelled stepped stops and an open fireplace featuring a chamfered lintel on stone jambs.
