Description
The Griffin Public House is a two-storey village inn built in the Rustic Tudorbethan style. It features a construction of whitened rubble and has a slated roof with oversailing eaves and verges, which have plain bargeboards. The building has brick end chimneys topped with simple cornicing. The main front is symmetrical with three bays, where the central entrance bay is slightly advanced and gabled. This bay includes a later hipped-roofed open porch, which is raised slightly and accessed by a short flight of brick steps. The porch is supported by two pairs of plain pilasters at the front and has a boarded and studded main door.
Windows have chamfered stone surrounds and projecting stone sills, each fitted with original tripartite cast-iron glazing that features diagonal lattice-design bars and cusped heads. There are additional similar windows on the right return, alongside a modern single-storey extension. To the left gable, there is a hipped-roofed projection that is recessed, with a long, lower addition adjoining to the northeast, parallel to the road. A short stretch of whitened rubble wall connects this addition to the west corner of the main block. The interiors are modern, featuring largely 20th-century details.
