King William IV Public House

The King William IV Public House is a former 17th century inn and 18th century cottage that has been combined into one building. It is located on the south side of Fenstanton High Street. The right side of the structure features a two-storey cottage made of soft red brick, with a rear wall that is partially timber-framed. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a stack at the right end.

On the first floor, there are two horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars. To the left of the central six-panelled door, there is a large window set in a segmental arch, and to the right, a smaller hung sash window also in a segmental arch. Inside, the building retains its original hearth and boxed stair, along with a chimney piece featuring carved panels from the 17th century.

The left side of the building is the original inn, which has a three-unit plan that was modified in the 18th century when the walls were raised. There is a cartway on the right side. The exterior includes a colour-washed brick casing over the timber frame, plain tile roofs, and a central ridge stack. The building has four flat-roofed dormer windows with horizontal sliding sashes and glazing bars. To the right of a half-glazed door, there is one horizontal sliding sash window and a canted bay window with hung sashes and glazing bars. A modern single-storey extension has been added to the left gable, made of colour-washed brick with a plain tile hipped roof. Inside, there are 18th century hearths and ceiling beams.
