Description

The Blacksmiths Arms is a public house that originated as a house with two sections, built in the early to mid-18th century on the left and the late 18th century on the right. The left section is constructed from hammer-dressed limestone, while the right is made of painted brick, both topped with a pantile roof. The building features a former through-passage on the left and a hallway entry on the right. At the rear, there is an outshut with a catslide roof on the left, a 19th-century range parallel to the front range on the right, and a stable block at the far right.

The structure is two storeys high with three windows on the first floor. On the left side, there is a board door accompanied by a 6-pane sash window, both situated under channelled lintels. On the right side, two steps lead up to a 6-panel door, which is flanked by 16-pane sash windows beneath cambered brick arches; there is also evidence of a blocked doorway to the left. The first floor features a 6-pane sash window on the left and two unequal 9-pane sash windows on the right, all beneath wooden lintels. The right side has a dentilled eaves course. The roof is steeply pitched and swept, with stacks at both the ends and the ridge. The rear outshut was once home to the village smithy.
