Description

The Watermans Arms Public House is a 17th-century building that was remodeled in the early 19th century. The front section features solid rendered walls, while the rear wing is constructed of exposed stone rubble, topped with slated roofs. There are rendered chimneys on both end walls of the front range and on the rear wall of the wing. The building stands three storeys high and is three windows wide.

The central doorway has a six-panelled door, with the two bottom panels flush and the two top panels now glazed, and is topped by a flat wooden hood supported by shaped brackets. To the left of the doorway, there are 14-paned sash windows on both the ground and second storeys, along with a small six-paned sash window to the left of the door and a small eight-paned window above it. On the right side, there is a slightly projecting wooden block of windows with two plain sashes per storey. The third storey features three windows with six-paned sashes. A raised band runs above the ground storey, and there is a pilaster strip with a round-headed panel to the left of the second and third storeys.

The left end wall includes a single-light wood casement window with three panes on the ground storey. The rear wing, which faces Horsepool Street, is two storeys high and one window wide. It has a late 20th-century plank door to the right on the ground storey and a mid-19th-century shop window to the left, which has six panes and is flanked by pilasters and an entablature. The upper storey features a two-paned sash window, and there is a boxed eaves cornice. To the left, there is a wide rear gate with a segmental arch made of voussoirs and double plank doors.

The interior has only been inspected on the ground floor, where the bar occupies the entire front range. To the left of the doorway, there are 17th-century chamfered beams with scroll stops.
