Description
The Draper's Arms public house is a building dating from around 1830. It is constructed of stucco and features a slate roof. The structure has three storeys above a basement and includes five windows. The ground floor is characterized by banded rustication and has two flat-arched entrances at either end of the facade, with a narrower entrance in the center. Between these entrances are two flat-arched windows, all featuring engraved glass of uncertain date and origin. The fascia has console stops at either end adorned with lion heads.
The windows on the first floor are of piano nobile proportions and are flat-arched, with pilasters and a cornice, as well as round-arched archivolts, while the tympana are left plain. The two outer windows are broader and flanked by giant Doric pilasters, and the three inner windows are also flanked by such pilasters. The front corners of the building are accentuated with pilasters, all rising to a moulded parapet. The second floor is slightly set back and features plain eared architraves around the windows. The building has an eaves cornice, a hipped roof, and corniced side stacks. Inside, the pub contains a bar front and cornice in the front room, both of which may have been part of the pub since the 19th century.
