Description

The Kings Arms Hotel is a coaching inn and house that has been converted into a hotel. It dates from the early 17th century, with the main range being refronted around 1821 and extended to the rear around 1856. The building is constructed of rendered limestone rubble, featuring a limestone ashlar plinth and both ashlar and brick end stacks, topped with a stone slate roof.

The plan consists of two rooms deep with an axial first-floor passage, a rear 19th-century north wing, and a two-bay south gabled house. The symmetrical front has a central flat-arched through carriageway with a horned 8/8-pane sash window above, flanked by wide full-height bays that contain paired 8/8-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors, along with two gabled casement dormers above. There are doorways on either side of the passage, with a blocked doorway on the left-hand side. The left end features a mid-17th-century gable that jetties forward above the ground floor, with paired 8/8-pane sashes on the ground floor, two first-floor 2-light casements, and a 9-pane attic window. There is also a 2-light 17th-century window on the first floor at the rear south side, and the north wing has a 19th-century cellar.

Inside, the ground floor has been altered but includes a wide stone fireplace. The left-hand rear features a late 18th-century dogleg stair with stick balusters and a curtail. The front rooms on the first floor have stop-chamfered beams with cyma stops, and the roof is supported by a collar truss with two trenched purlins.
