The Royal Oak Public House

The Royal Oak Public House is a house that has been converted into an inn, dating from the mid-18th century, possibly incorporating an earlier structure. It is built of roughly dressed limestone with stone dressings and features a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has integral rendered end stacks. It includes two hipped dormers that contain 2-light small-paned wooden casements. The front has two windows; on the left are boxed glazing bar sashes, while on the right are 2-light small-paned wooden casements, all featuring flat stone arches and stone cills. The central entrance has a half-glazed door with two beaded flush panels and margin lights, framed by a moulded wooden architrave and a 20th-century gabled glazed wooden porch with a half-glazed door. To the right, there is a one-storey lean-to addition. The rear of the building has a catslide roof over the lean-to and a central gabled staircase tower topped with a casement and a globe finial at the apex. Inside, a central dividing wall was removed in the 20th century to create a single large room. The interior features chamfered spine beams and open fireplaces at each end with plain stone reveals and chamfered wooden lintels that have ogee stops. There are also panelled window shutters.
