Description

The Kings Arms Public House, along with its attached outbuildings at the rear, is a public house dating from the mid-18th century and 19th century, with a datestone indicating 1839. It features squared coursed limestone and brick construction with a stucco facade, topped by a slate roof. The building likely started as a two-unit plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic, displaying a four-window range. The unhorned sash windows vary in size, all equipped with glazing bars and set beneath plain stucco heads. To the far left, there are six-panel double doors beneath a flat wooden hood, while a 20th-century door in the right-hand corner has a 19th-century moulded corner detail above it. The gable has an ashlar parapet and kneelers on the right side, with flat-topped roof dormers featuring casement windows. There is a lateral ashlar stack at the centre and a brick stack at the end. The rear includes 19th-century brick extensions and a two-storey stone extension that was formerly part of the stables. The datestone from 1839 is located at the centre of this rear range. The first floor also has a four-window range of unhorned sash windows with glazing bars. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century. The building is included for its group value.
