The Kings Arms Public House

The Kings Arms Public House is a public house built in the late 18th century, with some alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features limestone ashlar, which is painted on the front, and has a slate roof. The building is tall with a steep mansard roof and includes a central carriageway leading to a small internal courtyard, flanked by lower wings.

The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement. There are three windows, all of which are plain sashes. Above the first and second floors, there are two-light casement dormers above a small central sash and paired outer sashes. The ground floor has larger paired sashes with a wooden mullion, and a central wide square carriage arch flanked by pilasters, with a pair of high plank gates topped with spikes. A basement grille is located to the right. There is a platband above the ground floor, a cavetto string above the first floor, and an eaves roof with a stack positioned forward on the right, as well as front and rear narrow coped gables on the left. The first floor features painted Royal Arms in high relief between the first and second bays. Inside the carriageway, there is an early four-panel door to the right, a second glazed door, and to the left, a glazed door and a large window. The rear roof slopes down over the central section, with two plain sashes above the carriageway.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, before the construction of Charlotte Street in the 19th century, the Kings Arms was located on a significant carriage route from Bath to Bristol, making it a prestigious inn.
