Description
The City Arms Public House is a town house that has been converted into a public house, likely built in the late 18th century and altered around 1900. The building features a brick facade covered with scored stucco and has an irregular double-depth plan. It stands three storeys high and has three windows across the front. The ground floor is framed by wooden pilasters around the main entrance and includes two large rectangular windows with early 20th-century mullion-and-transom glazing, along with a round-headed doorway to the left. The first floor has sashed windows without glazing bars, all of which are now fitted with 20th-century folding canopies, and also features square two-light casements. The building has gable chimneys, and the interior has been altered.
