King George V Public House

The King George V Public House is a public house located in Gillingham, dating from the late 17th century, with an extension to the east in the early 19th century and alterations made in the late 19th century. The building is rendered and features brick ridge stacks, topped with a tiled roof that has a mansard design at the front.

It has an L-shaped single-depth plan and stands two storeys tall. The early 19th-century front has a two-window range, while the late 17th-century rear range has four windows. The corner of the building features a coped parapet and a left-hand gable, with a late 19th-century pub front that includes splayed corner double doors, a wide plate-glass mullion window, and two plate-glass first-floor windows, along with a 20th-century flat-headed dormer.

On the left-hand return, there is a 19th-century public house window with a blocked door and a second window in the rear range, which is windowless above. The front and sides have a timber fascia and cornice. The rear range includes a timber modillion eaves cornice, off-centre and left-hand doorways with a public house window in between, and four irregularly spaced first-floor 6/6-pane sash windows, along with two hipped dormers featuring casements.

The interior has been altered to accommodate a 20th-century public house layout, and the roof was not inspected. This establishment is reported to be the earliest house on Prospect Row, dating from around 1685.
