The Godolphin Arms

The Godolphin Arms is a public house with an adjoining former coach house, dating from the early to mid 19th century, or possibly a remodelling of an older building. The front is finished in stucco, while the rest is made of granite rubble or painted rubble. The roofs are mostly covered with scantle slate and dry slate, featuring gable ends. The building has an irregular L-shaped double-depth plan, consisting of a main block that is two rooms wide, with a principal entrance hall between a large front room on the right and a smaller front room on the left. There are two storeys above a basement service range beneath a parallel roof at the back. To the left, there is a two-storey, one-room plan wing with a large porch at the front angle and two adjoining service wings at right angles behind it. To the right, there is a three-bay former coach house, which is now part of the public house.

Architecturally, the building features classical details. The exterior is two storeys tall at the front but has basements under the rear sections. The northeast front has a regular arrangement of bays: 1:1:1:2, with the coach house set back on the right. The stucco details include quoins and strips at the ground floor, panelled pilasters at the first floor corners, a moulded mid-floor string linked to the porch parapets, moulded architraves with roundels in the corner blocks of the first-floor openings, and a moulded parapet cornice. The main porch is supported by square Doric corner columns and has a segmental arch over the doorway, with urn finials at the corners. The windows are mostly late 19th or early 20th century four-pane horned sashes, with some bay windows on the left side and at the rear. One rear window is a 12-pane hornless sash from the early to mid 19th century, while the others are later horned sashes with glazing bars. At the back of the coach house, there is a shop featuring a formerly six-bay blind stucco arcade with segmental arches on its south side, although the two middle arches are obscured by a small extension. The interior has not been inspected.
