Description
The King's Head Public House and the adjoining house is a 17th-century lobby entrance house positioned at right angles to the street, with an early 19th-century house added on the street side. The building features colourwashed brick with pantiled and plaintiled roofs. It is a single-storey structure that has been refaced with brick and includes an attic. The original door frame is located opposite the stack, and there are four 19th-century casement windows. The roof is steeply pitched, adorned with four dormers and an off-centre axial stack, while the eaves have shaped sprockets. A crow-stepped gable on the south side has been repositioned, and there is a late 20th-century extension to the north. Inside, the layout consists of three cells, featuring an original double fireplace and a staircase engaged on the entrance side of the stack. The interior details include double jewelled and ogee chamfer stops, and the original roof structure has butt-purlins, collars, and ties. The 19th-century addition is two storeys high, with segmental arched heads on the ground floor openings, a saw-tooth cornice, and a hipped roof.
