Description
The King's Head Public House is a public house dating from 1735, as indicated by the datestone. It is constructed of squared and coursed limestone, which is colourwashed on the front, and features a gabled stone slate roof with a brick end stack. The building has an L-plan layout with a rear left wing and stands two storeys tall with an attic. The facade is symmetrical with a two-window range. A bracketed flat hood is positioned over a 19th-century six-panelled door, which is adorned with a carved monkey and head on the dat plaque above it. The windows are mid-18th century six-pane sashes with thick glazing bars, topped with keyed stone lintels. A gabled dormer is also present. There is a 20th-century rear extension and a rear left wing from the 18th century that has a concrete tile roof. Inside, there are chamfered beams and an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer. The first floor has not been inspected.
