Description
No. 8 Clay End is a house that dates from the late 17th century, with a later 19th-century extension on the east side. It features a timber frame on a stucco sill, with roughcast walls and a steeply pitched roof that is now covered in slate. The house is two stories tall and has a three-cell layout with a central chimney and a lobby entrance.
The east end has a uniform two-story extension from the 19th century, which was used as a coachhouse and hayloft above. On the first floor, there are three two-light flush casement windows. The ground floor includes a three-light casement window, a segmental oriel window, and a four-panel flush beaded door with a moulded surround and bold brackets supporting a flat hood. To the right of the door, there is another two-light casement window. The building was formerly known as the Kings Cross Public House.
