Description

The King's Head Public House is an 18th-century public house, with 19th and 20th-century additions. It is built of painted limestone ashlar, with a 20th-century double Roman tile mansard roof and moulded stacks to the gable ends. The building comprises three sections: a main block, a two-storey wing to the left, and a later wing to the far left.

The main block is two storeys with an attic, and has a five-window front. There is a coped parapet, a cornice, and a ground floor platband. The windows are six/six-pane sashes, with paired windows on the first floor to the left-of-centre and right, and six/six-pane windows on the ground floor at the outer ends. A narrow 19th-century central door has a blocked overlight. The lower left wing has thick glazing bars to a six/six-pane first-floor window at eaves level, and a late 19th-century horned two/two-pane sash window to the ground floor. The long left wing is in two stages and has a freestone quoin marking the vertical joint at the centre of the rear wall, topped with a slate roof. A paired six/six-pane sash window is visible to the rear first floor of the older part of this wing.

The interior has been heavily altered. The basement of the rear wing retains 18th-century masonry from the original kitchen range.
