Description
The King of the Belgians Public House is a building dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It features painted brickwork, which likely conceals timber framing inside. The structure has one storey and attics, with five windows that include 19th-century sashes and casements. There are two gabled dormers, each with old two-light casements. The roof is half hipped and covered with tiles, and there is a central brick stack with decorative projecting courses, as well as an exterior stack at the west end.
