Description
The Rising Sun Public House is a 17th-century building that was originally a house and has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with colourwashed brick infill and some colourwashed rubblestone. The roof pitch on the north elevation has been changed, and the wall has been extended with brick and stud. The thatched roof is half hipped to the gable on the left side. The building is one storey high with dormers and has a letter-L shape, with the north range gable end facing the road and the south-west range fronting the road.
The street front has a central door located under a glazed verandah, flanked by two 3-light casement windows and one 2-light casement window. There is an eaves dormer on the right bay, while the left bay features a gabled section with exposed timber framing and truss, along with a 3-light gable window. The right or south gable elevation is timber framed with a tiled addition on the ground floor. The north elevation includes a ground floor casement window, an eaves that sweeps over a central projection, an eaves dormer, and a single-storey addition with a plain tile roof on the east side. There is a stack located halfway along the north wing and another on the south gable of the south-west range.
