Description
The Galton Arms Inn is a public house that was originally built as a house in the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century. The building features a timber-framed structure with painted brick infill and brick additions that are painted to resemble timber framing. It has two plain tiled roofs that span two sections. The inn consists of three framed bays aligned north to south, with an external chimney located at the south gable end and additional parallel ranges added to the west side in the 19th century.
The building stands two storeys high and has a dentilled eaves cornice on the additions. The roof of the original part has been raised, featuring three rows of panels plus an additional row above the new eaves level. The original wall-frame includes short straight braces in the upper corners, and the north gable end retains a collar and tie-beam truss with four struts to the collar and a V-strut in the apex.
On the east elevation, the ground floor has four 3-light casement windows, one of which has a plank weathering. The first floor has four 2-light casement windows. The entrance is located to the left of centre and features a 20th-century door, while a 19th-century chimney is positioned to the right of the roof pitch. Each north gable end has a 19th-century bay window with a hipped roof, modillion cornice, a 4-pane sash window, and plain side sashes. Above each bay window, there is an attic light with plank weathering. To the right of the bay window, in the original gable end, is the main entrance, which has a 4-panelled door and a flat canopy supported by consoles.
Inside, the rear wall-frame appears to be mainly intact. A 19th-century single-storey addition encloses the external chimney at the south gable end.
