Description
The Old Jockey House is an 18th-century inn, now a house, dated 1737. It has an ashlar facade with a stone-tiled roof, coped gables, and end wall stacks. The building is two storeys and an attic, with a formal five-window front. It features raised angle piers, a moulded string course, a moulded cornice, and a parapet swept up to panelled piers at the centre and angles. There are three hipped dormers. The windows are twelve-pane sashes in raised bead-moulded surrounds, with a central arched-headed window on the first floor featuring a raised surround, moulded imposts, and a keystone bearing the carved date. A central flush panelled door has a three-pane overlight in a raised moulded surround with a hood supported by carved brackets. A screen wall sits between the right side of the house and number 3 Old Jockey Cottages. The screen wall includes two blank panels in raised moulded surrounds, and a central archway with imposts and keyblocks. The building was formerly known as The Old Jockey Inn.
