Description
The Old King George is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Originally timber framed, some of the original framing and brick infill are exposed on the east side of the central bay. The remainder of the house was rebuilt in flint with brick dressings, while the road-facing front is rendered and whitewashed. It has old tile roofs and a brick chimney with a 'V' pilaster between the far bays. The building originally comprised three bays set at right angles to the road, with a fourth bay projecting to the left between the near bays around 1840. It is two storeys high. The gable facing the road has a pair of barred wooden casements on the first floor and a small 19th-century external chimney. The later bay is set back and features four-pane sash windows and a half-glazed door within a lean-to porch in the angle with the main wing. Barred wooden casements are present in the remainder of the building. A weatherboard lean-to shed is attached to the far end.
