The Nag's Head PH

The Nag's Head Public House is an inn that dates from the 18th century and is attached on the left side. It features scored roughcast render and a slate roof with overhanging eaves and yellow brick end stacks. The building is two storeys tall with a cellar that is currently inaccessible. The main section has a two-window range of 12-pane sash windows set in reveals. The ground floor has wide 20th-century bar windows, including frosted glass on the right, which flank a decorative timber-framed porch with a tiled gabled roof. The porch features a doorway with a reeded surround and a partially glazed door. The end unit to the left has a lower pitched roof and one sash window above a basket-arched carriage entrance with boarded double doors. A rear cross wing and a former separate cottage have been combined to create a kitchen. The upper side wall shows signs of early masonry, is battered at the base, and is buttressed at the front end. There is a shallow forecourt wall with hooped railings and spear and thistlehead details.

Inside, the bar area has five heavy cross-beams that are chamfered and stopped, with joists that are also chamfered and stopped. There is a low fireplace on the left, a blocked fireplace on the right, and remnants of a former spiral staircase nearby. The room above features a fine open fireplace with a massive chamfered stone lintel and a chamfered and stopped surround, along with similar cross beams as seen on the ground floor. The roof includes pegged A-frame trusses and trenched purlins, with stairs now rising in a bay against the south wall. The rear cross wing has the principal rafters of the trusses visible in the ceiling.
