Description
Arba is a simple classical building from the 19th century, featuring a three-storey roughcast front with rusticated quoins, cill bands, and plinths. The building has a slate roof and three chimney stacks, one of which is cement rendered and two are brick, along with wide bracketed eaves. The front of No 6 has two windows, while No 7, which includes 7a, has three windows. No 6 features small-pane pivot and sash glazing, while Nos 7 and 7a have sash windows without glazing bars, all adorned with lugged architraves and keystones.
No 6 has a later wooden projecting neo-Georgian porch with a pediment, a modern panelled door, a five-pane fanlight, and panelled reveals. No 7 has a central segmental arched recess, which may have been the former coaching entrance, featuring lugged architraves. This entrance has been later divided into two doorways with modern part-glazed doors and fanlights. Additionally, there is an iron railing with finials leading to the basement steps.
