EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and cellar; 7-window range. 4 gabled dormers on SW side, each with steep pediment-like fronts with moulded verges and a 2-light casement window with single horizontal glazing bar. 1st floor has 7 sash windows, each with a central vertical glazing bar. Ground floor has an off-centre canted bay window with sash windows and a hipped plain tile roof. Also doors, one with hood on consoles and a 6-pane window. The SE corner canted at ground-floor level with triangular sloping soffit above. Public house front of mid C19 with fascia, 4 pilasters and two 2-light windows with leaded light glazing wrapping round to SE front. This has a small 2-light casement window in gable and similar sash window on 1st floor. The SW elevation has a tall single-storey extension in white weatherboarding with simple door, 2-light window and gabled plain tile roof. Rear elevation has patch of old decorative plaster and smaller structure at right-angles with one wall of black weatherboarding, one rendered, and gabled plain tile roof. Behind main range is a monopitched single-storey red-brick building (now bar) and a stable block, part red-brick and part timber-framed with black boarding with low-pitched gabled pantile roof. A small area of roof has been replaced in concrete pantiles. The main block was probably constructed with a ground floor of brick and timber-framing over. INTERIOR: the timber structure is of good quality with 5 bridging joists, all chamfered above ground floor and a similar arrangement with lambs-tongue stops on 1st floor. All joists are of small square section. The contemporary stacks have been much rebuilt but remnants survive of the original

fireplaces including one in the cellar. 2 tight winder stairs and continuous attic storey is original feature. HISTORY: the building was early known as Wrenches and thought to have been rebuilt c1570; the structure could be of this date.
