Description
The Kings Head Hotel is a public house, likely with origins dating back to the 17th century, though its facade is primarily from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of painted brick, with a red plain tiled roof and a large red brick chimney stack on the right. The building is two storeys high with attics, and features three gabled dormers. The front has three two-storey, angled, three-light vertically sliding sash bay windows. A dentilled band runs across the front just above the upper storey. There are doorways on the left and right of the central bay. The doorway on the left has a moulded surround, a rectangular fanlight, and a shaped cornice head. The doorway on the right features a moulded surround, a moulded and dentilled pediment, and half-glazed doors.
