Description
The King's Head is an inn, formerly a coaching house, dating from the early 18th century. The building is rendered and painted, with a plinth below the ground floor cills and a concrete tile hipped roof featuring a prominent bell cast.
It has a reversed U-plan with a wing extension at the back right, and the main body displays a symmetrical classical design. The structure is two storeys high, with an attic and cellars that open to a lower ground level at the back. The façade features two plus one plus two-windowed sashes with glazing bars set in bolection mould architraves and bull-nose cills, along with two small hipped dormers. The entrance consists of a two-leaf modern door in a bolection mould surround, topped with a baroque broken pediment on carved consoles, and a central moulded base that is missing its finial.
