Description
The Lowndes Arms is a public house that dates from the late 16th to 17th century and has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with diagonal braces, brick, and colourwashed plaster infill, along with a rendered and colourwashed plinth and gables. The upper part of the first floor is made of brick and is situated below raised eaves. The building has a slate roof with wavy bargeboards and a brick chimney located between the left-hand bays.
The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays. The ground floor features two-light barred wooden casements in the centre bay and on the first floor. The left bay does not have a window on the ground floor, while the right bay has a canted projection with barred wooden casements. There is a 20th-century door located between the left-hand bays, which is topped with a large flat wooden hood supported by metal posts. Additionally, there are 20th-century extensions at the rear of the building.
