Royal Oak House

Royal Oak House is a mid-17th century public house, later converted into a house, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of coursed squared marlstone with some ashlar dressings, wooden lintels, and has a concrete plain-tile roof with rebuilt brick stacks. The building follows a 2-unit cross-passage plan.

The two-storey house originally had a three-window front featuring a central doorway and 20th-century casement windows, one of which retains a 17th-century label mould. A lower 20th-century range now projects on the left side. The rear of the building, along with a small projecting wing, retains a further label and a 2-light stone-mullioned cellar window with an ovolo moulding.

Inside, a large open fireplace, partly rebuilt, is visible in the cross passage. A smaller open fireplace features splayed jambs and a stop-chamfered bressumer. Original features include stop-chamfered spine beams, early panelled doors and window seats. The building is included on the list for its group value.
