The Bath Arms

The Bath Arms is an inn that dates back to the 17th century but was rebuilt in the mid-18th century. It is constructed from rubble stone and features a hipped tiled roof with brick stacks. The building is three storeys high and has five windows, which are fitted with casements. The central entrance has a six-panelled door set within a stone architrave, topped with a flat stone hood supported by carved brackets. On either side of the door, there are two 2-light beaded mullioned casements.

The first floor includes a plat band and five 2-light mullioned casements, with the side windows positioned slightly higher than the central ones. The second floor has three 2-light beaded mullioned casements located in the center. The left side of the building features two 20th-century fixed windows and a glazed door, along with a plat band on the first floor that has a 2-light mullioned window and another 2-light casement, plus a 2-light mullioned window on the second floor. The right side has a blocked 2-light mullioned window leading to the cellar and a shuttered cellar entry. The ground floor has two 12-pane sash windows in beaded architraves, with two 2-light mullioned casements on the first floor and one on the second floor.

At the rear, there are French windows, five mullioned windows on the first floor similar to those at the front, and two on the second floor. Inside, the inn features six-panelled doors and a deeply chamfered beam in the central entrance hall. Attached to the left is a single-storey extension made of rubble stone, which has 20th-century casements and now serves as kitchens. The central three bays of the building are likely from the 17th century, while the end bays were added in the 18th century during the time of refenestration. The Bath Arms occupies a prominent position on the village green, near Horningsham Lodge and Longleat House.
