Description

This rendered brick property shows signs of a hidden timber framed structure, although this is likely to have been substantially altered. The roof is clay tile, with an unusually shallow pitch. The white casement windows and timber door are not original. The off centre door suggests that the building was originally a hall house. The property has a number of small modern extensions to the rear, most of which are visible from the road. The building is prominent in views up Winslow Road. Now a house, this building was formally an inn and is a local builing of note within the Conservation Area of Nash (B1).
