Listed Building record MDO26676 - 1 Fore Street (formerly The Royal Oak Inn), Evershot

The Royal Oak Inn, now modified for use as a private house. The building appears to be of nineteenth-century date, but may have an earlier core, possibly of late eighteenth-century date. It has stone walls and a concrete tile roof with brick chimney stack. An original panelled partition is reported to survive in the interior, and there is an early nineteenth-century bow window in the front.
