Description
The Buck Public House is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring three windows. It has a box frame construction with close studding and a middle rail, with plaster filling. The ground floor is roughcast and flush with the jettied first floor. The building has a steeply pitched new slate roof with bargeboards and oversailing eaves. There is a tall, panelled brick stack from the 17th century on the left end, and a modern replacement for a later brick stack at the front corner on the right. The attic includes gabled dormers, and the building has timber framing, slate roofs and cheeks, and bargeboards. The windows consist of small paned two-light iron casements, while the first and ground floors feature Victorian sash windows. There is a moulded wood architrave on the ground floor to the left, and a modern casement window above the doorway. The entrance includes a good, heavy oak door with fillets, strap hinges, and pintle hinges, framed by a roll moulded architrave. The gable end wall mirrors the front but has square panels at the apex. On the first floor, there is a blocked three-light mullioned window on the left and a modern window on the right. At the rear, there is a two-storey square panelled wing with a gabled slate roof and a brick stack.
Inside, there are axial stop-chamfered beams and a square panelled partition wall that has been partly re-set at a right angle to accommodate a bar. The building also features good oak stairs.
