Heavitree Arms

The Heavitree Arms is a public house, likely dating from the early to mid-19th century, with remodeling occurring in the mid to late 19th century, and possibly earlier origins. The fronts are solid and rendered, with tarred slate roofs. The building has red-brick chimneys: one to the right of the Mill Street range, and two on the ridge of the rear wing along Lower Gunstone. A further two chimneys are present, one on the right side-wall of the Mill Street range and one on the front roof-slope to Lower Gunstone.

The building is two storeys high, with a two-window range facing Mill Street and five windows facing Lower Gunstone. The splayed corner features a bar entrance and flanking windows of high quality. The entrance has flanking pilasters that rise to an entablature extending over the flanking windows. It features three-quarter-glazed double-doors with solid, moulded lower panels and three panes in the upper sections. These are flanked by inward-facing pilasters, with a heavily moulded panelled lintel above. The windows are mullioned and transomed, with flanking panelled pilasters and patterned red and cream brick bases. Round-headed upper lights have trefoil spandrels; the frosted glass displays the words "AGENT FOR BAKERS HEAVITREE ALES" on the Mill Street front and "WINES SPIRITS BOTTLED ALES" on the Lower Gunstone front. The entablature features enriched, bracketed blocks flanking the cornice, linked by bead-and-reel mouldings. The window above the entrance has pilasters with paired brackets at the top, and a two-light wood casement with two panes in the lower part and a two-paned fixed sash above. The Lower Gunstone front features two 6-panelled doors, the right-hand door with two flush panels and a lion-head knocker, the left-hand door with the upper four panels now glazed. Most windows have sashes in recessed box-frames. The Mill Street front has two-paned sashes to the right of the ground storey and six-paned ones above, and a blind window to the left of the upper storey. The Lower Gunstone front has plain sashes with horns in the left-hand ground-storey windows. One ground-storey window has a 20th-century wood frame. A boxed wooden eaves-cornice runs around both fronts. The interior was not inspected, except for the altered bars.
