Description

The Queens Arms is a public house with attached outbuildings, built in the mid-19th century, with a 20th-century extension on the right. It features red brick construction with some dark brick patterning and tile-hung gables. The public house has a Welsh slate roof, while the outbuildings have red clay tile roofs. The building has end stacks and a central entrance leading to a hall with bars on either side.

The exterior of the two-storey public house consists of three bays, with a central doorway beneath a shallow segmental head. Canted bay windows flank the entrance, and on the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows: four over eight panes in the outer bays and three over six panes in the center bay. The side elevations have casement windows. At the rear, there is a single-storey range of outbuildings featuring a ground floor gable with a six over six pane sash window facing the public house.

Inside, the inner hall has two four-panel doors leading to the bars on the right and left, and a central door to the servery. The right-hand bar has an L-shaped counter with tongue-and-grooved diagonally-boarded panels and plain pilasters with console brackets. There is also a tongue-and-grooved boarded dado and plain fixed benches to the right of the bar counter and in the window recess. A mid-20th-century brick fireplace is present, along with beer engines dating from around 1947. The left-hand bar, which was formerly two rooms, has been joined in the mid-20th century and features a curved bar counter with inset boarded panels and a single pane of 19th-century etched glass in the right-hand light of the bay window. The Queens Arms is a little altered but remains an extremely rare example of an unpretentiously functional 19th-century rural public house, retaining much of its original fittings and plan form.
