Description
The King's Head Inn is a public house that dates from the late 16th century, with alterations made around 1800 and in the late 19th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick and rendered infill, as well as brick replacement walling and additions. The roofs are plain tiled, and there is a brick stack located to the south of the front roof pitch. The building consists of two framed bays aligned north to south and has an external chimney with a tall, detached rebuilt brick stack at the north end.
The inn is two storeys high, with the framing displaying four rows of panels from the sill to the wall-plate. The east front elevation has a jettied first floor supported by a moulded bressummer on shaped brackets that are decorated with weather-worn foliated carving. The structure includes a collar and tie-beam truss with three struts below the collar and a V-strut above at the north end.
On the east front elevation, the ground floor features two bay windows, while the first floor has two three-light windows. There is a central entrance with a half-glazed door. The main entrance, located at the north end, is adorned with a flat moulded canopy, a panelled surround, and a door with four flush panels. The external north chimney is enclosed by a single-storey addition with a flat roof, which has multi-paned windows facing north and east. Additionally, there is a parallel range at the rear from around 1800 and a substantial late 19th-century brick addition to the southwest.
