Description
The King's Head Public House is an 18th-century building located on the north-west side of Norwich Road in Hethersett. It is constructed of colourwashed brick and features both black glazed and red pantiles. The structure consists of three sections: a single bay of two storeys, two bays of one and a half storeys, and a single storey bay.
The two-storey section on the left has a gable parapet with a brick finial and a shaped kneeler, with an internal stack to the left. The ground floor has a tripartite sash window with glazing bars, flanked by blocked openings. The first floor features a renewed two-light casement window, and there is a lean-to on the left that holds no special interest.
The central section is one and a half storeys high, also covered with black glazed pantiles. It has an internal stack to the right, a central doorway, and a three-light casement window with pintle hinges on the right, with a blocked opening to the left. There are two roof dormers with renewed casements.
The single-storey section on the right is topped with red pantiles and includes shaped kneelers, an internal stack, and gable coping to the left. It has a tripartite sash window with glazing bars on the right, and features brick tumbling in and a platband on the return.
