Description
The King's Head is a public house located in Mendlesham, dating from the 17th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered, with some mid-20th century pargetted panels. The roof is pantiled, with glazed black tiles on the front slope. The building has one and a half storeys and includes three windows with four-light casements, two of which have horizontal glazing bars. There is a lobby entrance with a slated porch that has a mid-20th century standard door, flanked by older small-paned windows. The building also has four gabled dormers, each with three-light windows. The internal stack has a square shaft, and the front features a segmental-headed panel with a 20th-century Fleur-de-lys. There are later stacks at each gable end. The interior has been modernised, with very little of the original structure visible, although square oak joists are exposed in one section of the ground floor ceiling, and the rafters are plain and unsooted, set flat. The King's Head is included for its group value.
