Description
The Nags Head Public House is a building with origins in the 18th century. It is timber framed and has a rough rendered exterior. The structure is two storeys high with attics and features a tiled roof, which includes one gabled dormer with a casement window. The building has a plinth and five windows with flush frames and modern glazing bars.
On the left side, there is a three-window section that includes a six-panel door, a four-light rectangular fanlight above it, and a gabled modern tiled hood with half-timbered ornament supported by brackets. To the right, there is a plain six-panel door. An iron bracket holds a modern sign. The left side of the building is painted rubble, with brick rusticated quoin and a band between the storeys. A chimney is located at the quoin.
The Nags Head Public House, along with Abingdon Bridge and Salter's Cafe, forms a group of buildings of historical significance.
