Description
The King William Inn is an early 19th-century inn constructed from coursed and squared rubble, featuring slate and double-Roman tile roofs, and renewed brick stacks. The building has a symmetrical main part that is two storeys high and consists of three bays with 16-pane sash windows and wedge lintels. The central entrance has a six-panelled door topped by a fanlight with radiating glazing bars.
To the right, there is an addition that is slightly taller, which includes a 16-pane sash window on the first floor with a wedge lintel, while the ground floor is blank. The right side of this addition has weatherboarding on the first floor and in the gable face, with two flush-mounted 16-pane sash windows. The ground floor features a broad opening leading to a covered storage area, with the first floor supported by two brick pillars.
There is also a further lower height addition to the north, which is rendered and has pantiles, with sash windows that have glazing bars and appear to be much renewed. Inside, the inn contains interesting features such as panelled doors and a fireplace with a bressumer.
