Description
The Lansdowne Arms Inn is an inn dated 1843, located on the north side of Church Road in Derry Hill, Calne Without. It is constructed of ironstone with ashlar dressings and features stone slate roofs along with ornate ashlar Tudor-style stacks. The building has a large, roughly square plan with shouldered coped gables and finials, mullion windows, leaded lights, and flush quoins.
It stands two storeys tall, with the south front displaying gables at each end and three varied gables across the front. On the left, there is a slightly projected chimney gable with octagonal paired shafts, a Lansdowne monogram plaque, and a ground floor lean-to stone-slated verandah. The centre features a smaller gable above an upper three-light window and a projecting gabled porch with a Tudor-arched doorway, flanked by wings with single lights. On the right, there is a projecting wing with a broad gable, an upper three-light window, and a ground floor canted bay with a 1-3-1-light configuration of projecting mullioned and transomed windows.
The east and west sides are similar, with a main gable at the end of the front range and a two-window lower range beyond, which includes two-light windows with mullion-and-transom below and eaves-breaking dormer gables above. The roofs are hipped at the north ends. The west side features a ridge stack with four clustered shafts, while the east side has three octagonal shafts. At the rear, there is a single-storey range connecting to the coach-house, with a large double entry flanked by a cambered-headed door and window on each side.
