Description
King's Arms Cottages is a row of cottages, now functioning as a single dwelling, dating from the early 17th century. The building underwent alterations around 1725 and in the early 19th century. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone, with some brick at the rear, and features an internal timbered arcade leading to a rear outshut from an earlier 17th-century house. The roof is covered with stone slates.
Originally designed as a three-cell through-passage plan, it was converted into three single-cell cottages in the early 19th century. The structure is two storeys tall and has three first-floor windows. There is a single-storey outshut at the rear of the second and third cells, with quoins visible on the exterior. The first two cells feature 19th-century fenestration, including paired doorways with deep monolithic lintels, flanked by windows that also have deep lintels and projecting sills, retaining Yorkshire sash windows with small-pane glazing. The third cell has 18th-century fenestration, characterized by a doorway with tie-stone jambs and a shallow-arched lintel, which is initialled and dated "A" to the left of the right window. This cell also has a three-light mullioned window with overlapping lintels and flat-faced mullions with inner chamfers, along with a similar window above it.
There are brick stacks on the left gable and another at the junction of the second and third cells. At the rear, the outshut includes a doorway with a monolithic lintel and four bays of 20th-century windows with concrete lintels and sills, along with an added two-storey brick bay to the right.
Inside, the structure features posts on padstones, straight braces to the arcade plate and tie beam, and a raised roof supported by soft-wood fish-bone king-post trusses with separate tie beams.
