Kings Arms Public House Including Barn At Rear

The Kings Arms Public House, which includes a barn at the rear, is a public house that likely dates from the 18th century or earlier and was remodeled in the mid-19th century. It features solid rendered walls and a hipped slate roof. The building has two chimneys on the rear wall, with the left one made of old red brick. It has a single-depth plan that is three rooms wide, with a staircase located behind the middle room. To the rear left is a disused warehouse, traditionally referred to as 'the barn', which has access from a side alley.

The structure is three storeys high and has a widely spaced three-window range. The ground floor showcases three canted bay windows, with the left bay reduced in width to accommodate a small doorway. The main entrance, situated between the two left-hand bays, features a five-panelled door topped by a cornice on enriched consoles. The bay windows have sash windows, with the front sashes including margin panes. The small door is four-panelled, with the top two panels being glazed. At the left-hand end, there is a fourth window with two-paned sashes.

The upper-storey windows have shaped surrounds, with two-paned sashes on the second storey and two-light wooden casements in the five third-storey windows, each light containing two panes. The front of the building is flanked by raised quoins and features a boxed eaves cornice. The side-alley front has barred sashes and casements similar to those facing The Quay.

Inside, the ground-floor bar has a chamfered ceiling beam without stops. A wooden dog-leg staircase rises from the first floor, leading to a gallery-balustrade at the top with thin square balusters and column newels. The barn has a kingpost-and-ridge roof.
