24/03/50 The Choughs Public House
GV II*
House, now public house. Probably early C17. Squared flint,
limestone quoins and Ham Hill stone dressings; plain tile roof
with crested ridge and brick stacks, except a stone one to
left gable end; stepped stone copings to gable ends.
Double-depth plan with rear right wing making L-plan.
2 storeys, 3-window range. C20 door off-centre to right with
4-light stone mullioned windows under hoodmould to right and
similar 5-light window above, set in a probably C19 Ham Hill
stone forward-facing gable; small 2-light stone mullioned
window to 1st floor centre. To the left is a 2-storey canted
bay, probably C19; ground floor has fixed C20 three-light
window in painted wood frame with Tudor-style arches and
coloured leaded lights. First floor of bay has 5-light stone
mullioned window under a Ham Hill stone forward-facing gable
with moulded kneelers. 1st floor windows were probably reset
at the time of re-roofing in the late C19. Rear extension, of
limestone rubble, has a 4-light stone mullioned window in
gable at 1st floor level; and part of a hoodmould over C20
ground floor casement window.
INTERIOR: chamfered beams to ground floor; plasterwork to
first floor now cased in, not seen. Similar features, such as
the porch, to Waterloo House and Manor Court, Fore Street (qv)
and to Chard School, Fore Street, suggest an early C17 or even
late C16 date.
