Description
The Kings Head is a public house dating from the early 18th century. It features a timber frame with rendered wattle and daub infill and a thatched roof. The building has a lobby entrance plan and stands two storeys high with an attic. There is a door located to the left of centre, with four 19th-century casement windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor, all of which are topped with hood mouldings that have label stops. The roof is gabled, with a ridge stack and an external stack on the north gable. There is a 19th-century gabled extension with a pantiled roof to the south and a hipped thatched extension to the north, both of which are single storey. Inside, the bridging beams are adorned with sunk quadrant mouldings and demi-hexagonal stops.
