Hotel, now private club. Circa early C19 with earlier origins.

roof with gable end on left and gable end to front wing on right. Ashlar stone stack

front wing on right.
Original plan uncertain. The ground slopes steeply to the rear with a basement.
Overall 'L' shaped plan; the double-depth range on the left has a central entrance
with 2 large rooms on front, probably originally heated by end stacks. The front
wing to right has an entrance in the front gable end. There is a straight joint
between these 2 ranges.
3 storeys. Overall 3:2 window front. The left hand range is symmetrical and is
faced with ashlar stone with string courses and deep overhanging eaves; 3 window
front with dressed stone flat arches to openings. Ground floor with 2 tall 12-pane
horned sashes flanking C20 double doors in centre. Three 12-paned horned sashes on
first and second floors.
The right hand front wing is constructed of stone rubble with an ashlar stone facing
to the left hand side wall. Asymmetrical 2-window front elevation with C19 6-
panelled double doors and C20 fenestration on ground floor, two 16-pane horned sashes
on first floor and two 6-pane sashes on second floor. The fenestration in the right
hand side elevation has been altered and there are 3 gabled full dormers to the
attic.
Interior not inspected.
The club was formerly called the Indian King changing its name to the Higher Kings
Arms in 1735. A survey of 1757 refered to 'a house, malt house, pigs houses and
large yard with stable, barn and garden'. By the C19 the Inn was known as the King's
Arms.
