Description
The Kings Head Public House is a public house with an early 18th century core, which has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with a roughcast brick facade and a pantiled roof. The building has two storeys and includes a square carriage entrance on the south side. To the right of the entrance, there is a door flanked by one 19th century horned sash window on each side, and there are three similar sash windows on the first floor. There is also a further sash window above the carriage entrance. The building has overhanging eaves and a bell-based gabled roof, with a ridge stack located left of centre and an internal gable stack to the right. At the rear, there is a long range of kitchens and service areas that are two storeys high, topped with a gabled roof. All the windows at the rear are from the 20th century, and most of the interior framing has been covered or removed.
