Description

The Former King's Head Hotel, located at No 35 Carfax, is an 18th-century building with a date of 1401 inscribed on the front. The facade is mostly covered in stucco, with some painted brick visible. The structure has two storeys and features four windows, a Horsham slab roof, and an eaves cornice. There are two bay windows on each floor, with sash windows and intact glazing bars on the first floor. The ground floor has early 20th-century windows with Ipswich frames, a wide rusticated doorway, and a high arched carriageway at the north end, which leads to a modern extension.

The hotel continues along East Street, where the section is either late 18th century or early 19th century. This part has three storeys and five windows, constructed of red brick with a hipped Horsham slab roof, half-hipped to the west. It also features an eaves cornice, a three-light bay window through the upper two floors on the west side, and another three-light bay window in the center that extends through all three floors. The sash windows here have missing glazing bars. The mid-19th-century ground floor fronts the corner with Carfax.

No 1 East Street is a 19th-century wing to the east, comprising three storeys and four windows. It is made of red brick with some grey headers and stuccoed dressings, featuring a cornice and parapet with moulded capping. A projecting bay on the left has a pediment and rusticated quoins, and a cornice runs between the first and second floors, interrupted by three round-headed windows that rise through both floors. All upper windows are sashes with missing glazing bars, and the ground floor is rusticated with a cornice above.

Nos 33 to 35, along with Nos 34A, 34C, and No 1 East Street, form a cohesive group.
