Formerly the home of the British Council, now a Mitchells & Butler (Metro Professionals) house, it was converted to pub use some years ago and is now a much used facility in an area with few pubs. A Victorian house with many original features preserved and well-tended gardens too. The luxuriously panelled upper floor is similar in area to the ground floor and is reached by a traditional hardwood staircase, wide enough to have a table and settee on the half landing. Normally busy with drinkers and those dining too, with plenty of space for people to enjoy the well-tended gardens.
