Description
The Royal Oak is an inn dating from the mid-18th century, specifically before 1784. It features a construction of limestone rubble with a rendered brick facade and ashlar quoins. The roof is a 20th-century plain-tiled gambrel style with two hipped dormers.
The building has two storeys with an attic and a symmetrical two-unit plan, although there are 20th-century additions to the left and rear. The exterior includes three-light ogee-moulded stone-mullioned windows and a door frame with roll-edged moulding. There is a shallow stone hood from the mid-19th century with a reeded edge and moulded brackets above the door. On the ground floor to the left, there are mid-19th century paired 6/6-pane sash windows. The interior has not been inspected.
