Londesborough Arms

The Londesborough Arms is a manor house, now operating as a public house, dating from the early to mid-17th century. It was extended and remodelled in the early 19th century, with later alterations. The building is constructed of coursed dressed sandstone on a stone plinth, with a painted rendered section on the left side. It has a slate roof and rebuilt brick stacks. Originally a double-ended hall house with an outshut staircase, the building includes a service wing to the rear right, with a later brick extension to the outshut.

The front of the building is two storeys and three bays, with projecting end bays linked by a slated pentice porch supported on timber posts. A doorway that was originally located to the left of the centre bay is now blocked. A six-panel door with a divided overlight is located to the right of the centre bay, alongside a twelve-pane sash window. The left bay features paired sixteen-pane sashes to the ground floor, above which is a three-light horizontal sliding sash window. The right bay has a two-light, small-pane horizontal sliding sash window to both ground and first floors. The right return front includes a four-panel door within an open-pedimented doorcase with attached columns and paterae. The building has irregular stacks serving hipped roofs.

The interior retains original chamfered spine beams throughout the ground floor. Original floorboards, approximately 29cm wide, are concealed beneath a later floor in the first-floor front room of the right cross wing. An early 19th-century fireplace with a fluted surround is in the first-floor centre room of the right cross wing. Numerous cupboards on the first floor and in the attic have H-L (hook-lock) and butterfly hinges. Spice and alcove cupboards with recessed panelled doors are positioned on either side of a 20th-century fireplace in the extended outshut, now used as a bar.
