Description
The Royal Oak is a public house built from stone rubble, featuring a slate roof and stone end stacks. It is one storey high with an attic and has a low three-window range. The front has three 4-pane sash windows that break the eaves, each with catslide roofs, and there is a similar window on either side of the central doorway, which has a 20th-century door. The ground floor openings have plain stucco surrounds and a plain stucco plinth. Above the door, there is a notice that reads, "Last invasion of Britain Treaty signed here in 1797."
At the rear, there is a taller northeast wing with a ship-shaped roof, and the west elevation features sash windows in the left-hand bays, both above and below. In a previous listing, the door was noted as being ledged. Old photographs indicate that the facade was roughcast with 12-pane sash windows and a grouted whitewashed roof.
