Description
The Edinburgh Arms is a house that has been converted into a public house, dating from around 1830 with later extensions and converted to its current use in 1937. The building is finished in stucco, featuring an inn front made of timber with buff-brown herringbone brick infilling. It has hipped slate roofs with prominent moulded timber eaves cornices and stucco cornice stacks.
The exterior consists of a three-storey, five-bay front, with the center bay projecting slightly. There is a full-width ground floor extension at the front, and to the right, a one-storey extension that is set back. The inn front is framed by plain pilasters with imposts beneath an entablature that has a moulded cornice. The cornice rises in the center to form a pediment above panelled double doors, which feature a diamond lattice overlight. The windows on each side of the doors are 16-pane sashes. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes, while the second floor has squat 9-pane sashes; all windows have raised surrounds, with the center window on the first floor featuring a triple keyblock. There are raised bands at the first and second floors.
The right extension has a reset open pedimented doorcase with fluted pilasters, imposts, and rosettes in frieze blocks. The door is six-panelled with a radial fanlight set in a round-arched architrave. At the rear, there are panelled double doors and an overlight similar to those at the front, reset in the extension. The remainder of the rear has largely been refenestrated, although one 16-pane sash survives on the first floor of the original block, along with two 12-pane sashes on the first floor of the extension wing. The interior has not been inspected.
