Description

King's Head House is a building from the 16th or 17th century that was refronted in the 18th century. It is constructed of red and blue brick and features an old tile roof behind a panelled parapet. The building has two storeys and an attic, with three dormers that have hipped tile roofs. A stringcourse runs at the first floor level. The first floor has five sash windows, with the lower half of the second window from the left filled in with a sundial that is inscribed: "Essex House, 1580: King's Head 1714: Tempus Fugit, 1925". The ground floor has a central door set in a timber doorcase with panelled pilasters and a dentil cornice, flanked by two sash windows on either side. All windows have glazing bars. Inside, much of the early timbering is exposed, along with some 18th-century panelling and doors. There is a rainwater head on the right side inscribed with "RRE 1714".
