Description
The Five Arches Public House is a public house featuring street facades made of painted stucco with a raised parapet. It has a slate hipped roof topped with a rendered ridge stack. The south front has three bays, with three sash windows on the first floor: one window on the left and two on the right. The left window is positioned above a pair of 12-pane sashes on the ground floor, which were installed in the late 20th century to replace a shop window, along with a boarded cellar entry. To the right, there is a blocked medieval four-centred arched doorway, followed by an arched window set in a square-headed doorframe, also with late 20th-century glazing. Below the right pair of windows, there is a fascia and cornice supported by console brackets, above a 12-pane window and two doors featuring a 6-pane overlight, which replaced a 19th-century shopfront noted in 1977.
On the left end wall facing Upper Frog Street, there is a small 12-pane sash window on each floor, with a blank opening in between. To the right, the ground floor features a similar late 20th-century fascia and cornice above a pair of 12-pane sashes and a half-glazed door with a 6-pane overlight. A modern shop front was present here in 1977. The north end wall has a short stuccoed chimney, positioned to the right of an altered 17th-century external chimney breast, which is visible from the churchyard. There are also late 20th-century flat-roofed additions at the rear of the main range.
Inside, the pub has been largely modernised, but it features a large stone fireplace with stone voussoirs supporting an arched head in the east-facing party wall between the rear ranges.
