Description
The Littleton Arms is an inn built in the early 19th century. It features a stucco exterior and slate roofs, with brick ridge stacks. The building has a roughly L-shaped layout, with the main range running east-west and two parallel ranges at the rear aligned north-south.
On the north elevation, the inn stands three storeys high with dentilled eaves and six bays. It has 16-pane glazing bar sash windows with horns and wooden shutters. The first and second floors of the two left-hand bays have windows that are reduced in height, while the ground floor has a window in the inner left-hand bay that is reduced in width. The bay to the left of centre features a pedimented gable and a two-leaf door, which is approached by a double flight of stone steps with an iron handrail. The door has six panels, with the upper two being glazed, and is topped by a boldly projecting bracketed hood.
The east elevation also has three storeys and four bays, with 16-pane glazing bar sash windows with horns. The window to the right of centre is tripartite, and there is a door to the left that includes an overlight and a bracketed hood. To the left, there is a two-storey lean-to extension that is masked by a plastered wall, which has two small casement windows on the first floor to the left.
