Description
The Royal Oak Public House is a building that likely dates from the 17th century or earlier, although it was refenestrated in the early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble with a Cotswold stone roof, featuring a coped verge and a brick chimney on the left. There is also a large brick chimney on a rubble base located to the right of the center. The building has a lobby-entry plan and consists of two storeys, with a presumed attic indicated by a raking top dormer on the right, which may be part of Consitt House.
The first floor has three glazing-bar sash windows, with the right-hand window being paired, while the ground floor has two 20-pane sash windows, all with wooden lintels. To the right of the center is a six-panel door, which is a 20th-century addition and features a keyed head. To the left of the door is a casement window with a heavy stone lintel. At the rear, there is a short gabled wing.
