Description
The Royal Oak Public House and Nos 101 and 103, known as Keen-Parts and Derek Greenwood, is a public house and two shops that likely date back to the 17th century, with an earlier core and later alterations and additions, including built-out 20th-century shop fronts at 101 and 103. The building is timber framed and rough rendered, featuring gabled crosswings on both the right and left sides. It has a red plain tiled roof with a central gabled dormer and a tiled outshot situated between a tiled gable porch and a tiled gabled bay window on the right. The structure is two storeys high with attics.
The left crosswing includes early 20th-century three-light double-hung sliding sash windows on both the ground and first floors, along with a 20th-century half-glazed door with a light above leading to the porch. The outshot and bay feature 20th-century transom and mullion windows. There is arched batten decoration and bargeboards on the crosswing and small gables. The right crosswing has one window in the attic and two small-paned casement windows on the first floor, with the right return of this wing partially weatherboarded. The building is topped with three red brick chimney stacks.
