Description
The George Inn is a public house dating from the late 18th century and early 19th century. It features painted brick walls, with header bond on the front and Flemish bond on the sides, along with a plinth and cambered arches. The building has a tiled roof, a catslide at the rear, and gabled dormers. The east front consists of two symmetrical phases, each two storeys high with an attic and three windows. The north side has been extended to include three windows that are spaced closer together. The south side has triple sash windows on the ground floor, while the north side features a filled centre on the first floor and small sliding sash windows on the ground floor. The doorway on the south side has a cornice supported by brackets, while the north side has a plain doorway with a boarded door. There are prominent tapered stacks at the south end of the building. A decorative wrought-iron bracket, likely from the late 18th century, extends from the eaves on the south side and features an ornamental top with 'hanging grapes', along with a modern painted sign board.
