Morant Arms

The Morant Arms is an inn built around 1885, following the completion of the Brockenhurst-Bournemouth railway. It features dark brick construction, with parts of the first floor and gables covered in tile hanging, and a plain tile roof. The building is 2½ storeys tall and has a three-bay main range that bows at one end. The roadside end bays are two storeys high, with one wide bay wing and a two-storey infill between them.

The road elevation includes a Dutch gable on the left-hand side, which has a half-external chimney running up the middle to a stack with an arcaded panel and a moulded head. To the bottom left, there is a 15-pane sash window under a gauged arch with three raised keys. The recessed centre infill features a six-pane door next to a large window with seven panes by five panes, all under a flat hood. Above this, the right-hand wing has a three-light casement window with corner pilasters, a four-light casement window under a wide gauged segmental arch with three keys, and an oriel window known as 'Shaw Sparrow's', topped by a tile-hung gable.

On the left side of the wing, there are coved plaster eaves leading to a massive external chimney that rises to a short stack with a moulded head. Behind this, there is a low two-storey gabled porch that is open on the ground floor and rests on piers, featuring tile hanging on the first floor, a four-light casement window, and a half-timbered gable. The main range has a right-hand end facing the railway that is half-octagonal, with 24-pane sash windows under gauged arches with raised keys. The first floor is tile hung with a sill band, a central cross-window, and a 15-pane window on each side. The building has coved plaster eaves leading to a hipped roof, with large stacks featuring arched panels located on the ridge in the centre and at the far end.
