Description
The King's Arms is a 17th-century inn with 18th and 19th-century extensions. The original section is timber-framed with curved and straight bracing, rendered and painted brick infill, and sits on a limestone plinth. Later additions are of brick and painted brick. The roof is covered with stone slate facing the High Street and red tile elsewhere. Brick stacks are present. The building has a rectangular plan which includes a single bay early 20th-century extension and 18th and 19th-century extensions to the rear.
The timber-framed section consists of two bays, with a jettied gable to the left-hand bay, and extends over two and a half storeys. It features three- and four-light casements with leaded panes, some retaining early fastenings. A plank door with fillets and an early thumb latch is set within a pegged frame in the ground floor of the jettied section. A brick-built bay to the right has a 20th-century five-light stone-mullioned casement on the ground floor and a two-light casement with leaded panes above. A 20th-century lean-to porch provides access at the right gable end. The building has projecting gable-end and axial stacks.
Inside, the ceilings feature deep, flat chamfered beams. The interior is open plan.
