The Kings Head Public House is an 18th-century building located on the east side of Headcorn Road in Boughton Malherbe. It is timber framed, with the ground floor finished in pebbledash and the first floor featuring beaded weatherboarding. The right gable end is tile-hung, and the building has a plain tile roof. It stands two storeys high with attics, having a half-hipped roof to the left and a gabled roof to the right. There are two gabled dormers and a slightly projecting brick stack on the right gable end. The windows are arranged irregularly, consisting of four 2-light casements. The entrance features a ribbed door with a rectangular light and a flat hood positioned under the second window from the right. The interior has not been inspected.
