Description

The Cresselly Arms is a 2-storey, 3-window public house built with rendered rubble-stone walls and a slate roof. It features an end stack on the right and an external stack on the left. The upper storey has applied timber framing, and the openings are offset to the left. The central boarded door is set within a doorcase that has consoles and is flanked by 4-pane sash windows. To the right side, there is a link that connects to another range at right angles, which may be the original building but has been modernised. On the right gable end, there is a lower gabled projection that may have originally served as a kitchen. The rear of the building has inserted and replaced windows and is splayed on the left side.
