Description

The Royal Oak Public House is a 17th-century building that was altered in the 18th century. It features a symmetrical design with two storeys and is constructed from timber framing with roughcast. There are extensions or wings on the north and south sides, with the main range having a tiled roof that includes two gabled attic dormers and two red brick end stacks. The south extension also has a tiled roof, while the north extension is covered with Welsh slates. On the ground floor of the main range, there is a projecting gabled porch situated between two modern three-sided bay windows. The first floor contains three 18th-century sash windows.
