Description
The Longs Arms is an inn built around 1700, with an extension added in the late 19th century. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a stone slate roof with coped verges and gable end paired stone stacks, forming an L-plan layout. The building is two stories high and has four windows across its front. A single-storey addition from the 19th century projects forward, featuring central folding double doors, with a 4-light mullioned and transomed casement on either side, and cross windows on the returns. There is a cornice above a low parapet on the flat roof.
On the first floor, there are four ovolo-moulded cross windows, a lintel string course, and a cornice above a plain blocking course. The left return has three cross windows on the ground floor, a string course, and five cross windows on the first floor, including those in the rear wing. The right return has a blocked cellar window, an inserted 20th-century casement, and a cross window with a hoodmould on the first floor.
Inside, there is a 19th-century Gothic stone fireplace in the bar to the right of the entrance, featuring octagonal pilasters with cusped panels. The inn is named after the Long family of Rood Ashton, who owned much of the village until the mid-20th century.
