This pub is not only a grade II listed building, it is also a One Star pub on the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) National Inventory with an interior of special national historic interest, and the description is as follows: "On high ground just on the edge of London, this feels more like a country pub than an urban one. It has been a pub since the 17th century but there is nothing one can see from that time. The core is just inside the front entrance – a delightful 19th-century servery with high-level screenwork. Along the right-hand side is a fixed bench and wall panelling with a shelf above. The ‘stone’ flooring was installed in a generally careful refit after a bus embedded itself in the front wall a few years ago. On the right, up a couple of steps is a cosy snug with more panelling and a fixed seat. The large, left-hand room is entered via a cut-through from the service lobby and dates from the 1950s. The ‘barn’ on the right is a function room and is pre-World War II."

The listing description is as follows; "Late C17 brick, 2 storey, 2 window and blank panel over central door. Gabled dormers. Parapet. Ground floor right window altered, and C19 door and porch. Annexe to left with gabled dormer matching those of house, in painted weatherboard. Barred weatherboard shed structure (billiard room) to right. Mid C19 wood panelled bar interior."
