Swan House is a Grade II listed building. With white rendered walls and leaded lights which catch the sunset it stands on what was once an important medieval crossroads: now the main road has moved away and left Swan House on a peaceful little meander in a village lane.

In the 1787 Land Tax assessment the property is known as The Swan and was, very possibly, a cider house the proprietor being one Widow Hodges. English Heritage states that Swan House probably dates from the late 17th Century and could have been remodelled from brick and timber on a stone base: the lower room, now called The Cider Store, may be far older. According to the census over the centuries Swan House was a farm, a bakery, a shoemakers, a shop and a post office.
