Description

King's Head Court is a former inn, now converted into flats, dating to approximately 1720. It represents a refronting of an earlier building. The front facade is constructed of ashlar stone, while the side walls are of rubble stone with a restructured roof and stone stacks. The building exhibits a grand Cotswold Baroque style with a three-story facade of nine bays. It features fluted Doric pilasters at each end and a cross rhythm of round-headed and square-headed windows, interspersed with round-headed niches. The outer bays have round-headed sash windows; the next two bays inward are square-headed; and the central feature is a depressed arched carriage entrance with a round-headed sash window above. Another round-headed sash window is positioned above the carriage entrance on the top floor, flanked by niches. A second-floor band and a moulded cornice tie the facade together, with keystones from the end top windows and three central round-headed features projecting. Decayed and surviving proud keystones and brackets are visible below the windows. The building was recently sympathetically cleaned and is of great visual prominence and local architectural distinction.
