Description
The King's Arms Inn is a public house located at the end of a terrace, likely built in the late 18th century. It features colourwashed rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof, with stone stacks at both ends and in the center, and parts that are plastered and raised in brick. The building is two stories tall with an attic.
There is a gabled porch with a stone slate roof and a part-glazed door. Additionally, there is a second part-glazed ledged door and a pair of doors set within a larger elliptical-arched opening. On the ground floor, there are two casement windows with glazing bars and shutters, while the first floor has three casement windows with glazing bars. The attic includes one 20th-century dormer with casements. At the rear, there is a lean-to extension with a slate roof.
