Description

The Kings Arms is a house that has been converted into an inn, dated 1674, with alterations made in the late 19th or early 20th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick and plastered infill, and the front has been refaced with planted timbers from the same period. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The framing consists of small square panels with short straight corner braces. The building has a baffle entry plan with three framed bays and is one storey high with an attic.

There is an off-centre brick ridge stack to the left, which was rebuilt above the ridge around 1900, and a brick end stack to the right. The front has three large 17th-century timber-framed gabled semi-dormers, each with four and five-light wooden casements. The gables are jettied and supported by chamfered brackets, with roll-moulded bressumers that feature ogee stops, planted timbers, and plain barge boards. The front has four windows, with 20th-century two- and three-light casements that have wider plate-glass lower lights.

Between the first and second windows from the left, there is a pair of two-panelled doors framed by a moulded architrave. A two-storey gabled porch has a pair of cusped wooden brackets that support moulded side beams and a carved bressumer dated "167+". The first floor features two three-light and two two-light wooden casements, with planted timbers in the gable and plain barge boards. There is a 19th-century four-panelled door located between the second and third windows from the left. The left-hand gable end reveals an exposed collar and tie-beam truss, with queen struts, a painted king strut, and V struts. At the rear, there is a gabled wing made of red brick with a dressed red sandstone integral lateral brick stack. The interior has only been partially inspected, but chamfered beams have been noted.
