Description
The Old King's Arms is an inn that features a painted roughcast exterior, a close-eaved slate roof, and renewed red brick end stacks. The building stands three storeys high with a cellar and has a four-window range. It dates from the later 19th century, showcasing 4-pane horned sash windows on the upper floors, with smaller windows on the top floor. Notably, there is a large canted oriel window in the second bay of the first floor, which has 2-4-2-pane sashes, a modillion cornice, and a panelled base.
On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a large 20th-century 24-pane sash window, a doorway with a large 2-pane overlight and a pair of 20th-century doors, another large later 19th-century window with two lights, a column mullion, and basket-arched shaped heads featuring 20th-century small-pane glazing. To the extreme right, there is a blocked square-headed passageway with a large 20th-century small-paned window.
At the rear, there is a long range of attached wings that likely date from the 18th or 19th century, although they have undergone out-of-character restoration in the late 20th century.
Inside, the ground floor has been altered. In the rear left, there is a wooden open well staircase in the Chinese Chippendale style, featuring balustrades on three flights leading up to a landing, closed string, ramped rails, and square newels. The front of the first floor has four squared beams. There is also a short rear wing with a narrow gabled roof that has exposed rafters internally and a vaulted cellar to the southwest, noted in 1981 but not available for inspection.
