Description

The Edwinsford Arms is an early 19th-century public house, originally part of the Edwinsford Estate. It is distinguished by its rendered and painted walls, a hipped slate roof with wide wooden soffits, and slightly projecting end chimney stacks. A high plinth runs along the base. The symmetrical facade has three windows arranged over two storeys. It features 12-pane horned sash windows, although the upper central window has been altered, with a narrower 8-pane sash inserted at a later date. Concrete sills are present. The ground floor windows are set under blind elliptical arches. A later central porch, rendered and with a pitched slate roof and bargeboard, has been added. The porch's round-arched doorway is framed by a raised, lugged, cemented architrave, leading to plain double boarded doors. A modern extension is set back to the right. The left-hand return elevation is of whitewashed rubble with two sashes matching the front, and a 16-pane horned sash to the rear annexe. The rear elevation also features whitewashed rubble, a contemporary two-storey wing to the right, and an outshut to the left under a catslide roof. A rendered gable chimney stack rises from the wing, while a half-hipped dormer to the left has stone cheeks and a hornless nine-pane sash window. A fixed nine-pane upper window is positioned to the right. A later whitewashed rubble extension is located to the left, also with a hornless nine-pane sash window. A projecting single-storey wing is situated to the right.
