Description
The King's Head Public House is a building that was originally a house, dating from the late 15th century to early 16th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building has five bays facing south and features axial stacks. There are 20th-century extensions at the rear. It stands two storeys tall and has a five-window range of 20th-century casements, along with two 20th-century doors. The roof is hipped, and the long elevation was originally jettied but is now underbuilt. Inside, the property has chamfered beams and plain joists with a horizontal section. On the first floor, there are two doorways with four-centred arched heads. The two bays on the right side, which originally formed one large room, have been subdivided but still retain wide arched braces to the central tiebeam. The roof features a crownpost with axial braces.
