Description
The Sportsmans Arms is a house that has been converted into an inn, dating from the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of rubble, whitewashed at the lower level, with slate hanging above on the front and sides. It has an asbestos slate roof and a slated gable stack on the left, while the rear wing is rendered. The overall shape of the building is a T-plan, with a double depth layout featuring two main front rooms on either side of a central entrance hall that contains a staircase leading to the rear; this area is now open plan. There is a small two-storey integral service wing at the back.
The inn is two storeys high and has three windows, all of which are 16-pane sash windows. The central entrance features a gabled porch with a segmental-headed opening, flanked by two-pane sidelights, and an inner panelled door that has two glazed sections and an overlight. To the left, there is a two-storey lean-to with a 20th-century glazed bay window at ground level and an 8-pane 20th-century window above it. There is also a second lean-to to the left that has a door. The left side of the building has a blank gable end, while the right side has a 20th-century single-storey concrete lean-to with a three-pane window at the front, a door, and a four-pane window on the side.
At the rear, there is a central two-storey gabled wing with a 20th-century single light and a small single-storey lean-to. The first floor features three 20th-century lights, and there is a four-pane attic light. On the ground and first floors, there are two-light casement windows with cambered heads, each with eight panes. A door is located in the lean-to on the left, while the right lean-to has a 20th-century two-light casement window at both the ground and first floors, with a half-glazed door to the right. The left side of the rear wing has a door, while the right side has a blocked door with a 20th-century single light inserted. Inside, there is a straight staircase leading to the rear centre, which has been largely altered in the 20th century.
