Description
The King's Head Inn is a public house dating from the 16th century, with partial rebuilding and extensions from the 19th century. It features a timber frame with irregular framing and whitewashed brick infill, while the left end and wing are made of whitewashed brick. The roof is covered with a mix of old and 20th-century tiles, and there are brick ridge and end stacks. The original layout is unclear, but the building has been extended to form an L-plan. It stands two stories tall with a four-window range. The entrance has a 20th-century door, flanked by two 19th-century canted bay windows under a continuous flat roof, with two additional canted bay windows to the left. The windows display irregular fenestration, consisting of 19th-century wood and iron casements with glazing bars, including one leaded-light casement on the first floor. The left side of the building has a whitewashed brick return with an external stack. At the rear, there is a small amount of exposed framing and a 19th-century wing. Inside, the inn features broad-chamfered ceiling beams and some exposed framing, along with an altered open fireplace. There are also 20th-century additions at the rear.
