Description
The Apple Tree is a former inn that now serves as a public house and restaurant. It dates from the late 17th century to the 19th century, with some minor alterations in the 20th century. The right gable is constructed of random rubble stone, with brick above the center of the first-floor windows. The front to the left features Flemish-bond brickwork, while the left bay beyond has English bond brickwork, all topped with a tiled roof. The building has an 'L' plan, with a 2-window, 1 1/2-storey wing on the left and a 2-bay, 2 1/2-storey wing on the right, which includes a lean-to at the front.
The front faces the road and features a late 20th-century external brick chimney with offsets on the left return. It has a 3-light casement window with boarded shutters and a cambered brick arch, with a vertical joint in the brickwork and a similar window to the right. To the right, there is a boarded door accessed by three stone steps, sheltered by an open lean-to porch supported by heavy timber posts, with low stone walls on either side. The right side has a stone gable with a 3-light casement window featuring leaded lights and a timber lintel, positioned left of center. There is also a 2-light window in the lean-to with small panes and a concrete lintel.
Above, there is a half-hip on the left end with a lean-to dormer that contains a 2-light casement window. A triangular window is located at the foot of the gable on the left, while a wide 3-light casement window with leaded lights and a cambered brick head is centered. There is another triangular window at the top of the lean-to on the right. The gable features an infilled oval, and a ridge chimney is situated on the center right wing. The rear angle has been infilled and extended in the late 20th century, which is not of special interest. The exterior may conceal earlier work.
