Building record 2881/0/102 - The Oak Inn

Built in the late 19th century as a private residence and converted to an inn between 1924 and 1940. Closed prior to 2013. Now converted back into a private residence

{1} The original construction of The Oak Inn dates to the early-mid 19th century. Originally, a three bay structure, aligned east – west and fronting onto Stamford Road, the site was subject to perhaps three or four phases of alteration up to modern times. These alterations took the form of interior rearrangements and remodelling of layout and the construction and demolition of additional structures abutting the original building. The final phase of alterations which saw the conversion of the building to a Public House and B & B, almost entirely remodelled the layout throughout the structure. The proposed scheme of works will see the demolition of the modern extensions to the rear of the property and restore the building to its original footprint.
The Oak Inn is typical of the contemporary architectural style in the region, utilising locally available materials such as Collyweston slate. Very similar structures can be seen both in Easton on the Hill, nearby Collyweston and Stamford.

The report contains detailed description of the building with plans and photographs.
