Description
The King's Arms Public House is an early 18th-century public house, possibly dating from an earlier period. It is constructed from partly-coursed limestone rubble, featuring squared quoins and timber lintels, and has a plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. The building is designed in an L-shape and consists of two storeys plus attics. The front has two windows with irregular fenestration, including 2-light casements and sashes, and there is a blocked central doorway topped by a 20th-century stone-slated canopy. The right bay projects slightly and is accentuated by very large quoins. Both gables feature projecting stone chimneys, with the left gable having a stepped design, and there are later rubble outshuts. The rear wing on the left side has 3-light casements. Inside, there is an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer.
