Description
The Royal Oak Public House is an early 18th-century building that has been altered. It stands at 2½ storeys tall and is constructed of pebbledashed rubble with a pantile roof. The building features four stone chimneys and two gables, each with two light ogee moulded mullioned windows. The first floor has one window and two windows, with the right-hand windows featuring modern three-light casements where the mullions have been removed. A three-light ogee moulded mullion window remains on the ground floor to the right. There is a modern two-window ground floor extension to the left. The entrance is a plain doorway located to the right of centre, which has a modern wrought iron canopy above it. A modern extension at the rear conceals the staircase, and the interior has also been altered.
