Description
The Masons Arms is a two-storey building with roughcast exterior and a thatched roof featuring end stacks. The left side is made of brick, while the right side is rendered. The upper windows are positioned under the eaves and have thatch eyebrows above them. The building has a three-window arrangement, with a door located between the second and third windows. The window openings are narrow, with 20th-century glazing in the upper windows. The ground floor features a hornless 12-pane sash window on the left and horned 4-pane sashes in the centre and on the right. The entrance has a four-panel door.
The south end wall has been rebuilt in modern brick following the demolition of an adjoining house. The rear of the building is obscured by a full-length lean-to added in the 20th century. The ground floor has been completely altered, and there is a projecting chimney breast at the north end.
