Description
The Long Arms Inn is a late 17th-century inn, altered in the early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a stone slate roof, featuring coped verges and gable end stone stacks. The inn is a single-storey building with an attic, and has three windows on its front elevation. A moulded, square-headed doorway contains a four-panelled door, situated to the left of the centre. To the left is a twelve-pane sash window, and to the right is a two-storey canted bay with sashes and a plat band. The right part of the façade has a four-panelled door and a pair of sashes. A string course of moulded, 17th-century stone runs along the front. Two full attic gables, each containing a three-light, cyma-mullioned casement window, rise from the roofline. The canted bay on the first floor has a sash window. A 20th-century flat-roofed extension is attached to the right return. At the rear of the main range is a gabled dormer, containing a blocked mullioned window, and a gabled wing with two-light casements and blocked mullioned windows. A lean-to is situated on the south side. The interior contains chamfered beams.
