Description
The Chequers Inn and its attached outbuildings are a public house dating from the mid-18th century, with later additions and 20th-century alterations. The building features coursed rubble and rendered gritstone, accented with ashlar dressings, quoins, moulded kneelers, and coped gables on the main section, while the other gables are plain. It has ashlar stacks and a stone-slate roof.
The elevation is irregular and consists of three distinct sections. The north range is roughcast, two storeys high with four bays, the northernmost bay being recessed. The windows vary in style, originally featuring two-light flush mullioned windows, now reduced to a single mullion on each floor, with 20th-century casements and pivot windows on the upper floor, along with 20th-century glazing bar sashes and one bow window on the ground floor. The off-centre doorway has a painted stone surround and a six-panelled door topped with a rectangular overlight featuring Gothic glazing.
The principal range is two storeys and three bays wide, showcasing two-light flush mullioned windows, except for the ground floor opening in the north bay, which has a glazing bar sash in an earlier surround. The central first-floor window has a semi-circular head with radiating glazing bars. Other windows include 19th-century sashes and casements. The central doorway features a quoined surround and a massive lintel beneath a shallow bracketed hood, with the door itself having two rectangular lights with shallow arched heads above.
The lower and recessed range to the south has two plain doorways and a single first-floor window with 20th-century joinery. The ranges to the north and south of the main range are included for their group value only.
