The Royal Oak Inn

The Royal Oak Inn is a farmhouse and inn, now functioning as a hotel, dating from the 16th to 17th century, with later enlargements in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is rendered over rubble and features a thatched roof, which is hipped to the right and on the cross wing. There is a roughcast stack on the left gable end, with additional rendered sections to the right of the cross wing and rendered brick between the first and second bays on the right.

The internal layout has been significantly altered, but it likely originally consisted of three cells and a cross passage, which has been extended southwest beyond the right stack, with a cross wing addition in the second bay on the left. The building is one and a half storeys tall and has irregular late 19th and 20th-century window arrangements. The first floor is unlit to the left of the two-storey cross wing, which has four-light casements with astragal glazing. To the right, there are four pointed arch dormer casements, two and three-light, that rise free below the eaves.

The ground floor features a scallop-tiled pentice over the bay windows and porch, with a four-light casement window in the cross wing. There is a single-storey addition, likely housing stairs in the re-entrant angle, and a three-light casement to the left of a 20th-century porch with a catslide roof. Beyond this, there is a thatched bay and a porch leading to a 20th-century door, along with two 20th-century casements at the end on the right. Internally, the building has been much altered, but there is a chamfered lintel above the fireplace in the right-hand stack.
