Description
The Gardeners Arms Inn is an 18th-century house, later serving as a public house, with a full-height 19th-century addition to the rear. It is constructed of red brick with chequered burnt headers, and has a clay tile mansard roof. The original section has a rectangular plan of two units.
The north front, or west elevation, has three bays. The central doorway has a simple hood supported by stucco pilasters and shaped brackets. A 20th-century door sits within, featuring an upper glazed panel with a shaped head and glazing bars arranged as 3x3 panes. Either side of the doorway are 19th-century sash windows with segment heads and 4x2 panes. The first floor has horned 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars; the outer pair have 4x2 panes, and the central one has 3x2 panes. There are two segment-headed lead-covered dormers, each with a 2-light casement window with 2x2 panes.
The south elevation, which is the rear, features a 19th-century addition with a hipped mansard roof. A 20th-century L-shaped addition obscures the ground floor and is not included in the listing. The first floor of the 19th-century addition has three sash windows with 4x4 panes, and a rear stack stands between the centre and west window. An east-facing dormer window with a sash window and 4x3 panes is set into the steep roof pitch.
The east end elevation has a plain brick joint marking the transition between the 18th-century house and the 19th-century addition, extending up to the 18th-century mansard gable. The 18th-century brickwork here is chequered, matching the front elevation. Two stacks are present, one per unit, with a 20th-century attic casement window between them in the 19th-century construction. The west end elevation is similar to the east.
The lower part of the front of the original 18th-century house has been rebuilt. A prominent external stack is visible. The ground floor now has a 20th-century door and a casement window with glazing bars. To the rear of the stack, the ground floor has a door with an upper glazing pattern of 2x3 panes and three lower panels. A window to the north has 3x3 panes, while three conjoined windows to the south have 2x4 panes each.
A fire-escape stair rises above to 20th-century plain doors on the first floor and attic. A 19th-century attic window with glazing bars is positioned to the south of the attic door, and a small 20th-century stack in red brick is located to the north. The interior contains no features of group value.
