Description
The Royal Oak is a public house built in the mid-19th century. It features random rubble limestone with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building is single-storey with an attic and has a rear wing that forms a T-plan.
The front elevation includes a central doorway with a three-centred arch and a plank and stud door, flanked by two-light chamfered mullioned casements with hoodmoulds. Above, there is a row of three single-light attic casements, each set in a parapet gable topped with a ball finial. The front block has parapet-gabled ends, each with a diagonal chimney stack mounted on the ridge.
There is a 20th-century addition to the east end of the building. The rear wing features a parapet-gabled dormer on the west side with a two-light casement, along with flat-roofed single-storey extensions from the 20th century below. The north end has a diagonal chimney stack. The windows on the front elevation are fitted with internal panelled shutters. It is said that the stone used for construction was sourced from Boxwell rectory.
