Description
The Crooked Billet is a public house dating from the 17th century, which was refronted in the 19th century. The left gable features whitewashed brick on the ground floor, with timber framing and plaster infill above. The front and right gable are constructed of red brick. The building has a half-hipped thatch roof with a brick chimney located between the left-hand bays and another chimney externally on the right gable. It is 1½ storeys high and consists of three bays. The windows are barred wooden casements. The irregular ground floor includes a lean-to on the right side of the center, which has a slate roof and double doors. The first floor features three eaves-line dormers with catslide slate roofs, a 2-light casement on the left, and 3-light casements in the right-hand bays. There are 20th-century extensions at the rear.
