Description
The Kings Arms Public House is an inn dating from around 1780. It is constructed of brick that has been colourwashed, featuring painted stone dressings and a Welsh slated roof with coped gables and brick stacks at each end. The building is three stories high and has three bays. The central doorway has a segmental arch and is flanked by a pair of three-panelled doors with a plain fanlight above, all topped with an open stone pediment supported by Yeovil style console brackets. The structure has a stone plinth, rustic quoins, and stone bands at each floor level. There are two 16-pane sash windows on the ground and first floors, set in plain openings with flat gauged brick arches above, and two 12-pane sashes on the second floor. A stone cornice and box gutter are present, along with a cast lead stackhead and downpipe on the right-hand side. A modern inn sign hangs on a wrought iron bracket. The side wall is plain. The interior has been significantly altered at the ground floor level, while the remainder of the building has not been inspected. The Kings Arms is part of a group of 18th and 19th-century properties facing the church, contributing to a sense of scale and variety in the area.
