Description
The Old Butcher's Arms is a house, originally a public house, and now used for a mix of residential and commercial purposes. It dates from the 17th century, with significant remodelling in the late 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with dressed quoins, and has dressed stone blocks beneath the eaves. The roof is gabled and slate-covered, with rendered stone end stacks finished in late 18th century brick. The building follows a two-unit, through-passage plan. It is two storeys high with an attic, and has a symmetrical three-window front. A 20th-century flat hood covers the central door and lights. Late 18th century tripartite sash windows have timber lintels. Two 19th-century roof dormers have two-light casements with glazing bars.
The rear elevation features a 18th-century gabled dormer with a 20th-century extension, and an 18th-century single-storey service wing constructed of similar materials, with a brick-finished end stack.
The interior originally included a central through-passage. The first floor has not been inspected.
