Description

The Dawnay Arms is a public house dated 1772, featuring a rendered exterior and a bitumenised blue slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and has four bays. A 20th-century gabled timber and brick porch covers a six-panel door, which is now part-glazed, set in a plain stone surround on plinth blocks. This door is topped by a two-piece gabled hood that is incised with 'R I M 1772'. The ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows, while the second floor features side-sliding sashes. The building has dentilled eaves, shaped kneelers, and coping, along with rebuilt brick end stacks and another stack at the ridge. There is a lean-to 20th-century addition on the right and other 20th-century additions that are not of special interest.

Inside, the pub has chamfered spine beams, and part of the original staircase remains, featuring two turned balusters per tread. The second floor was originally one large room, supported by king-post trusses with bolted braces.
