Royal Oak Public House

The Royal Oak Public House is an early 19th-century establishment located on Ipswich Street in Stowmarket. It features a rendered and colourwashed brick exterior beneath a hipped slate roof. The building is two storeys high with a two-window front. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed 19th-century door set in a tiled recess, framed by a doorcase that includes pilasters and a hood. There are replacement 8/8 sash windows, with horns, on either side of the door. The first floor has a timber cornice and two 8/8 sash windows from the 19th century. The eaves cornice is decorated with paired flat modillions on the soffit board, and there is a red brick chimney stack on the rear roof slope. The interior of the ground floor was opened out in the 20th century.
