Description

The Masons Arms Public House is a building that originated as a house in the early to mid 17th century, with later alterations and a mid 19th-century extension on the right side. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled roof made of artificial stone slate. The building has 17th-century moulded stone end stacks that are finished in rendered 19th-century brick, along with a brick stack from the mid 19th century on the right.

The structure has a two-unit plan, which extends to a three-unit plan with a rear wing. It stands two storeys tall and has a three-window range. The central door, along with a door to the right, is modern (20th century) and is framed by timber lintels. The windows are also modern casements with timber lintels. The two-storey rear left wing has a concrete tile roof and features a large lateral stone stack.

Inside, the front range includes chamfered beams and a chamfered bressumer above an open fireplace on the right. The rear wing, which may have older 17th-century origins, contains chamfered and roll-stopped beams and an open fireplace on the left. The building is noted for its butt-purlin roof.
