Prince Regent, Sutton

The property was originally a row of late 18th or 19th Century cottages of vernacular design with horizontal timber cladding and sash windows. In the early 20th Century the cottages became a pub and shopfronts were added to the front elevation. In the 1930s a two-storey rear extension was added. In the 1980s there was a fire at the pub which may have resulted in the recovering of the cottage roofs and alterations to the chimney stacks. The interior is unrecognisable from its time as cottages. The property represents a local style of building and is the only building around Sutton Green dating from the time when Sutton Green was the ‘centre’ of Sutton. Delisted by Historic England in 2016 mostly due to the alterations over the years, they did declare ‘the building clearly has local interest as one of the few remaining buildings that reflect the history and development of Sutton and its local vernacular style’
