Description
The George and Dragon Hotel is a 2-storey public house built in a neo-Georgian style. Its front features pebble-dashed walls with smooth-rendered architraves and an upper-storey sill band, topped by a slate roof. There is a roughcast stack to the left of center and two tall stone stacks at the rear. The front has six windows; the lower storey includes a 12-pane hornless sash window at the left end, followed by a modern door, a segmental-headed studded cellar door with a small window above, two more 12-pane hornless sashes, a doorway with a panel door and glazed panels, and a tripartite 12-pane horned sash window with a boarded door at the right end. An inscription band with raised letters and the date 1410 separates the two storeys. The upper storey features four 4-pane horned sashes, arranged unevenly, including a tripartite window at the right end.
There have been additions to the rear, which include a kitchen dating from the 17th or 18th century. The lower storey has been modernised but still retains cross beams and timber-framed partitions, one of which has exposed wattle. A bracket that once supported the upper storey remains in place. The lateral fireplace on the right side is partially intact, featuring a timber lintel beneath a moulded cornice, while the left gable end has a later, larger fireplace with a stop-chamfered lintel.
In the upper storey, at the north end, there is an arched-brace truss on a wooden bracket, along with two timber-framed partitions and cusped wind braces. One partition, which is the gable end of the original building, has herringbone struts, while the other retains fragments of wall painting, including two horned devils in a roundel on the right side and a cross with a bleeding heart beneath the apex. Below a beam is a restored inscription that reads 'PAX DEUS VOBIS REQUIE DEFUGE DEUS PROVIDEBIT ...'.
