Description
The Kings Arms is a former inn, now a public house, dating from the early 18th century, with some 16th century brick fragments and 19th century stables. It features a combination of red brick, brick and flint, and colourwashed brick, topped with a red and black pantiled roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has an east-west orientation facing the market place. It has a hipped roof, a bay fronted wing to the west, and a gabled wing to the east, which continues at the rear as a southern service range.
The elevation facing the market place is colourwashed and includes four windows. There is an off-centre door flanked by stucco pilasters and an entablature, with a string course at the first floor level that turns up over the courtyard doors and continues around the bay. The windows are 19th century sash windows with glazing bars, and there is a brick dentil eaves detail. The eastern parapet gable shows tumbling in and evidence of an earlier gable. An external stepped chimney is located on the eastern lean-to roof.
The eastern boundary wall is constructed with 50 mm bricks in English Bond. The northeast wing features a 19th century double corner window with a central door on the splay, plain timber pilasters, and a fascia. It also has a sash window and an attic casement window with glazing bars, along with a parapet gable that has brick tumbling in. The northwest splayed bay includes an entrance door, sash windows with glazing bars, a dentil brick cornice, and a hipped roof. Further to the west, there is a 19th century panelled stable door, with the upper section featuring glazing bars and a projecting pediment supported on consoles.
The south service wing is built of 17th century brick, with a flint wall at the center, incorporating parts of an earlier building. It has parapet gables and corbelled eaves. The stables have stable doors, gables, and brick dentil eaves. The stables are noted for their group value.
