Description
The Royal Oak is a public house built in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from dressed sandstone and features slightly projecting quoins, a Welsh slate roof, and stone stacks. The building has a central hallway entrance and stands two stories tall with an attic, comprising three bays. The entrance includes a four-panel door set in a plain doorcase with a dentilled cornice, flanked by canted bay windows. On the first floor, there are six-pane sash windows within stone surrounds, and the attic dormers also have six-pane sashes. The gable has coping, and there are stacks at both ends and along the ridge. The Royal Oak is included for its group value context.
