Description

King's Head House is a house in a row, dating from the 16th century, with likely 18th and 19th-century extensions at the rear. The main part of the building features large, roughly coursed and dressed limestone blocks on the ground floor, with a flat-chamfered stone plinth. The far right-hand bay has been rebuilt in brick, and the plinth for this bay has been repaired in brick as well. The first floor jetties out and is constructed with close-studded timber framing and plastered infill, topped with a stone slate roof. A stone stack has been repaired in the 20th century.

The facade has four windows, all of which are 2-light metal casements with leaded panes on the first floor. The ground floor includes two 12-pane sash windows and a late 19th to early 20th-century four-light casement with a central stone mullion and a moulded surround. There is a 20th-century plank door with fillets set within a flat-chamfered surround, featuring a roughly carved cross on the lintel, located off centre to the left. To the right of this, there is another 20th-century door with fillets, likely inserted when the right-hand bay was rebuilt in brick. A four-light wooden casement with a central flat-chamfered stone mullion and moulded surround is situated between the two doors.

At the rear, the projecting strings on the gables of the extensions may have been former pigeon landings, and there are stacks at the gable ends. Inside, there is a through passage aligned with the left-hand door, featuring a wide flat-chamfered Tudor-arched surround to a former rear entrance that now opens into a later extension. The interior also includes flat-chamfered intersecting beams and an open fireplace with a bressumer beam. This house was formerly part of the King's Head Inn.
