Description
The King's Head Public House, formerly known as the King's Head Inn, is a public house dating from around 1700. It is constructed of red brick and colourwashed brick, topped with pantiled roofs. The building has two storeys and features a rear outshut. The north-facing facade has three bays, with a central entrance that includes a raised and fielded six-panel door topped by a segmental fanlight with radial glazing bars. The door is framed by a timber doorcase with engaged Doric columns and an entablature.
The facade also includes sash windows with glazing bars, where the outer windows have margin lights, and segmental brick arches at the ground floor. Clasping pilasters with moulded brick caps are present, along with a moulded brick platband on the east gable wall that extends across a stepped external end stack. The building features moulded brick kneelers on the curved gables and brick dentil eaves. There are end and two rear stacks, and a canted bay on the east wall of the outshut. The central double doors in the hall are glazed and flanked by sash windows with glazing bars. Sash windows are also present on the first floor, with rusticated render between the ground and first floor windows, and a timber modillion cornice above.
