Arlington House

Arlington House, located at No. 72 on Fore Street, is an early 18th century town house, believed to have been the residence of the Singer family, who were clothiers. The building is constructed of ashlar stone on a moulded plinth, featuring draughted corner piers and a moulded eaves cornice. It has a stone tile roof with two brick chimneys located off the ridge. The house includes three dormers, with the central one being segmental-headed, and all dormers have moulded cornices.

There are five ranges of glazing bar sash windows, which have raised stone surrounds with moulded outer edges and beaded inner edges, along with brackets supporting the sills. The ground floor windows are adorned with cornices. A central Doric porch features two engaged piers and a moulded entablature, although the triglyph frieze is damaged, lacking triglyphs and only showing guttae. The entrance includes a six-panel door set in a channelled surround, with a rectangular fanlight above the door void, shaped by the segmental ceiling of the hall. At the rear, there is a two-storey brick extension against a rubble brick wall.

Arlington House is part of a notable group that includes Nos 65 to 68, Nos 70 to 73, the railings and gates to Nos 68 and 70, a dwarf stone wall to No 72, No 64 (Lloyds Bank), and Usher's Brewery Corner Block, along with No 8 and the premises occupied by K.J. Lestor to the southwest of No 8 Wicker Hill.
