Description
The Harcourt Arms is a public house in Stanton Harcourt, dating to the late 17th century, with an early 19th-century extension. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with dressed quoins, and has a gabled roof covered in artificial stone slates. Brick end stacks are present. The building originally comprised two units, now forming a symmetrical three-window facade. A brick segmental arch tops the early 19th-century plank front door, which has a gabled bracketed hood. Similar arches are above late 17th-century cross windows with leaded lights, and a blocked window above the door. An early 19th-century extension to the right is of Flemish bond brickwork with flared headers and a gabled stone slate roof. This extension has a two-storey, two-window range with first-floor, three-light leaded casements, and a single-storey range with a half-hipped roof to the front. Inside, the building features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer to the right. The first floor was not inspected.
