Description
The Royal Oak Public House is a public house with origins in the 17th century that has been reworked in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features colourwashed brick, which appears to be partially recasing and partially replacing a timber-framed structure. The building has thatched roofs on the central and left-hand parts, while the right-hand part has a clay tile roof.
The structure consists of three distinct sections, likely once separate properties. The central part is one storey with attics, while the outer parts are two storeys. There is a variety of casement windows, mostly with two lights and glazing bars, with three on the ground floor and four on the first floor, the central two being dormers. There are also two part-glazed doors, one on the left-hand side and the other in the central section. The building features a variety of ridge and gable end chimney stacks, along with a small flat-roofed addition to the left-hand gable end.
