Description

The Kings Head is a public house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has panel pargetting, along with a two-level jetty. The roof is hipped and covered with red plain tiles, with an outshot to the right. The building has two storeys and a three-window range of small-paned casements on the first floor. On the ground floor, there are three bay windows with small-paned sliding sashes, and board doors with two lights on the right and left. There are four red brick chimney stacks.
