Description
The Royal Oak is an inn that dates back to the 17th century, with a mid to late 19th-century extension. The original part of the building features coursed, squared, and dressed limestone, while the later extension is made of brick with a limestone facade. It has a slate roof with brick chimneys. The building has a rectangular plan and is 1½ storeys high, with a flat-chamfered plinth.
On the first floor, there are two Cotswold dormers that are lit by 2-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with small leaded panes. The facade has two storeys and is arranged with two windows. The 19th-century extension is located to the right and includes two 4-pane sash windows with horns on the first floor, along with a two-pane sash window with horns and a large plate glass window with a concrete lintel to the right. Both ground floor windows feature decorative frosted glass. A 20th-century plank door is situated to the left. The building has axial and off-the-ridge stacks at the gable ends. The interior has not been inspected.
