Description
The Chetwode Arms Inn is a public house dating from around 1800, with some elements from the 17th century. It is constructed of brown brick and features a grey slate roof. The building has two storeys and four windows. The left bay is made of darker brickwork with an unbroken vertical joint.
On the lower storey, from left to right, there is a recessed 16-pane sash window, a double door with three margined panels in each leaf set in a Tuscan case with half-columns (though the entablature has been removed), a late 19th-century timber-framed hipped porch, a casement window with three 6-pane lights, a late 19th-century framed and boarded door in a simple timber case, another casement with three 6-pane lights, a boarded door, and a final casement with three 6-pane lights. The upper storey has four similar casements. The sash window features a wedge lintel, while the casements have cambered arches, and all windows have projecting stone cills. The gables are adorned with kneelers and wedge-shaped stone copings, and there are two diminishing brick chimneys on the ridge along with corbelled diminishing gable chimneys.
The left gable end has a door and a recessed 16-pane sash on the lower storey, with two 12-pane recessed sashes above, separated by a horizontal 6-pane fixed light. A recessed wing on the right has a boarded door and three small windows on the lower storey, with a casement of three 4-pane lights above. The roof is also covered with graded grey slate, and there is a small mid-20th-century projection at the corner between the wings.
Inside, the inn features a chamfered beam in the right room, late Georgian doors including one with two unequal leaves in the bar, and a late Georgian doorcase with gadrooned architraves and roses at the corners in the left room. There is also a probably reused ovolo oak beam in the back room. The Chetwode Arms Inn retains the character of a traditional public house, with small licensed rooms, some of which have been altered in detail.
