Description

7, 8, and 10 Arwenack Street is a terrace of three townhouses with later shops, built in the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of stucco on what is likely rubble, with slate hanging at the rear. Number 8 retains its original scantle slate roof, while the others have asbestos slate roofs, all featuring deep eaves supported by paired brackets. There are brick stacks, with an end stack on the left and an axial stack towards the right. The terrace has a double-depth plan with rear extensions and stands three storeys high, featuring a three-window range.

Numbers 8 and 10 have 20th-century replicas of original hornless sash windows with margin panes, while Number 7 has a mid to late 19th-century four-pane hornless sash window and a later two-light casement above. The facade is articulated by pilasters, with first-floor windows set within recessed elliptical-arched panels. Number 8 retains impost strings and a sill string. The ground floor includes three shop fronts: Number 7 has a two-light shop front with panelled end pilasters and segmental arches; Number 8 features a late 19th-century three-light shop front with end pilasters and a moulded entablature; and Number 10 has a similar but simplified shop front, all with splayed sidelights to the doorways that include original overlights. To the left of Number 8, there is a round-arched passage doorway.

The interior of Number 8 contains many original features, including a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters and turned newels, a plaster ceiling cornice with a moulded band and corner blocks, and panelled doors. The facade is an interesting example of neo-classical design, with sash windows that exhibit unusual glazing-bar patterns, foreshadowing later styles typical of Falmouth.
