Description
The Assheton Arms is a public house built in 1765, constructed from squared coursed limestone with a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features four bays. The windows are sashed with glazing bars and have plain stone surrounds. The windows in the third bay are tripartite with square mullions. The left-hand bay was originally a stable, and its windows, while modern, are designed to be in keeping with the building's character. A door on the left has a plain stone surround, while the main entrance, located between the third and fourth bays, also has a plain stone surround topped with an open pediment hood supported by shaped brackets. There are chimneys situated between the first and second bays, the second and third bays, and on the right-hand gable.
Inside, the pub features a stone fireplace with a moulded cornice mantel and a lintel that has a fluted false key inscribed with 'IBS 1765'. Adjoining the pub to the south, now used as a dining room, are former cottages likely built in the mid-19th century, which incorporate elements from the 17th century. These cottages are made of limestone rubble with sandstone dressings and a stone slate roof. The south facade of the cottages is two storeys high with three bays, featuring sashed windows with glazing bars and plain stone surrounds. The doors, also with plain stone surrounds, are located to the left of the second bay and to the left of the right-hand bay. There is a straight joint to the left of the right-hand door, and the part of the building to its left retains window surrounds of 17th-century style. Chimneys are positioned to the right of the second bay and on the right-hand gable. The left-hand gable, facing west, has a sashed window with glazing bars and a plain stone surround on the first floor.
