Description

The Kings Arms Hotel is a building dating from the 16th century and later, originally consisting of two separate properties that were combined, renovated, and altered in 1936. It features a timber frame with colourwashed plaster infill and red brick infill on the eastern flank wall. The hotel has an old tile roof and two large brick stacks with octagonal shafts, and it stands two storeys tall.

There is a central carriage arch, with the section to the east having been refaced in 1936, which also saw the addition of an eastern gable and dormer. The modern oak doors and leaded windows contrast with the original section to the west of the carriageway, which retains its hall and crosswing plan, two gables, and a jettied first floor. The western gable has blocked arched openings, a modern oak door, and leaded casement windows.

The rear elevation displays three gables with exposed timber framing, two sash windows on the first floor, and a small tiled lean-to to the east of the carriageway along the eastern wing. There is also a short central wing and the rear of the 16th-century cross-wing at the western end.
