Description
The Wheatsheaf is a public house dating from the 17th century. It features an exposed timber frame on the right-hand gable end and one brace to the right of the front, while the rest of the building is covered in whitewashed roughcast. The roof is half-hipped thatch with a brick stack positioned to the right of the center, which has a rebuilt base made of thin bricks.
The building is one-and-a-half storeys high and consists of three bays. The left-hand bay includes a board door on the left and two barred windows to the right. The central bay has a 20th-century canted bay window on the left and a four-panelled door beneath a wooden hood supported by cut brackets, with a small casement window to the right. The right-hand bay is blank. Above the center bay, there is a small paired barred casement window. The right gable features a canted bay window on the ground floor and a barred casement window above. To the left, there is a tiled lean-to, and to the rear, there is a tiled brick and weatherboarded extension that is at right angles to the main building.
