Description
The Bakers Arms is an inn dating from the early to mid 18th century, constructed from coursed and squared rubble stone with a stone slate roof. It features stone end stacks, with a brick flue on the east end stack. The building is a single range with a large slate-roofed lean-to at the rear, which has been partially cut into by a 20th-century flat-roofed extension, along with a small 20th-century extension to the left; neither of these modern additions is of special interest.
The inn stands two storeys high with an attic and has two windows on the upper floor, which are 3-light wood casements with timber lintels, matching those on the ground floor. There are also two hipped dormers, each with paired casements. The central entrance is a 20th-century plank door. To the right-hand side, there is the original entrance to a former shop, which features a large timber lintel and is partially filled with a 20th-century three-light casement.
