Kings Head Hotel

The King’s Head Hotel is a public house dating from 1860, built upon an earlier structure. It is constructed of whitewashed brick with tiled roofs and is arranged in an ‘L’ plan with a two-storey range to the north and a one-storey range with attics to the south. The architecture is Tudor-Gothic in style.

The north range has two ground-floor and three first-floor windows, all being three-light wooden casements with glazing bars. They are accentuated by dentillated brick drip moulds. A gabled porch provides access, featuring raised and fielded Gothic double doors. There is decorative fretwork to the bargeboard. A dormer gable rises from the eaves to the ridge, incorporating a two-light casement; modern barge boards have replaced the originals. A further dormer features a two-light casement with a drip mould head, also with replacement barge boards.

The south range includes a returned gable with a ground-floor three-light, drip mould headed casement and a first-floor architrave-framed opening containing a smaller two-light casement. A date stone reading ‘1860’ is set above this gable. Again, modern barge boards are present. The building is characterised by three north and two south diamond section stacks, each with a corbelled head.

The property is included on the list for its group value within the village green setting.
