Description

The Cricketers Arms is a public house built in the early to mid-19th century, with some alterations made in the late 20th century.

The building features a three-storey front range that runs east-west, accompanied by a long rear range. It is constructed of stuccoed brick and has a slate roof adorned with orange and grey clay ridge tiles.

The exterior faces north onto Market Place and consists of three storeys with two bays, including a canted bay at the north-east corner. The ground floor showcases a replacement, 19th-century-style panelled public house front that extends across the east, north-east, and main north walls, topped with a full entablature. The entrance is recessed and accessed by two steps, featuring a four-panel door with an oblong fanlight above. A conical hexagonal glazed 19th-century oil lamp, now converted to electric power, hangs from a decorative wrought-iron bracket.

On the first floor, there are three four-pane sash windows with moulded architraves and a modillioned cornice supported by consoles. The second floor has similar windows, but the upper sash lacks a glazing bar, and the consoles support a modillioned eaves cornice that holds an ogee rainwater gutter. The east gable, made of fair-faced brick, rises above the adjacent property's roof and features an apex chimney stack. The roof is predominantly pitched with a central ridge chimney stack, while the section above the canted corner is hipped.
