Originally two houses and extended to the right with changes pre-war (?or just post-war) it had three rooms and a number of original fittings. As you walk in there is a small counter with a drawer and cupboards in it - which looks like more modern infill woodwork. Doorway (actually an enlarged gap) to a room on the right with a carpet over a parquet floor, 1930s fixed seating all around and an inappropriate Victorian-style fireplace added recently. The two left hand rooms have been combined with walls removed in c.2006. There is a small section of 1930s fixed seating to the left of the entrance, then more inter-war U-shaped fixed seating. The parquet floor confirms changes to the layout. Another Victorian tiled, cast-iron and wood surround fireplace (but must be a later addition). The bar counter could be from the 1930s, the bar back fitting certainly looks like 1930s with some post war changes such as mirror backing. The wall above two sections of fixed seating was removed by Marstons builders on police instructions and the licensee replaced most of it to create two cosy corners. At the rear is a bowling green and still an active Bowling Club.
