Hadley Arms Including Outbuildings To Rear

The Hadley Arms is a public house dating from the mid-19th century, located at the junction of North Road and The Avenue in Combe Down/Williamstowe. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with slate roofs. The main building is set diagonally across the junction and features a low-pitched hipped roof. To the left, it connects to a service range with a lean-to roof, while to the right, it was originally free-standing but is now linked by a flat-roofed unit to the gabled Old Victoria Rooms.

The exterior of the Hadley Arms is two storeys high. The front range has two plain sash windows with stooled sills on each level and a central door made up of four moulded panels, topped by a painted name panel. There is a plinth and a plain eaves band beneath deep bracketed eaves. The ground floor has horizontal channelling and features two external ashlar stacks at each end. A small unit with a hipped pantile roof connects to a boundary wall approximately 3 meters high, backing the lean-to range.

The Old Victoria Rooms, also two storeys, has three wide-spaced four-pane sash windows on the first floor facing the road. It features raised coped gables, each with a small square stack. To the right, a flight of stone steps leads up to a plank door at first floor level, and on the garden side, there are drinking booths beneath three sashes. The interior of the building has been completely altered at ground floor level. The name "Hadley Arms" comes from the Hadley family, who owned an estate in the area from 1806 onwards.
