Description
The Drovers Arms is an inn located in a terraced row, featuring painted stucco and a 20th-century concrete tile roof with a moulded eaves cornice and brick end stacks. The building is three stories high and has a three-window range. The upper two floors have plate glass sashes, while the ground floor includes a large square four-pane sash window to the left of the central doorway and a similar tripartite sash window to the right. The window openings have plain stucco surrounds, and the first floor windows are adorned with moulded cornices on consoles. The doorway is framed by pilasters and an entablature, leading to a door with six fielded panels. There is a raised plinth, and a 20th-century inn sign hangs from a scrolled bracket on the first floor. On the far left of the second floor, there is a dressed stone inscribed with "This pine end belongs to the house eastwards 1775." The rear of the building features some slate-hanging and a long three-story rear wing with 20th-century windows and concrete tiles, presenting a six-window range with concrete lintels and brick sides. The ground floor has been altered.
