Description
No. 5 Galgate is a house that has been converted into a shop and flat, located adjacent to a public house at No. 7. It dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone alterations in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior features painted render with painted stone dressings and a plinth, while the right side is constructed of rubble. The building has a Welsh slate roof topped with a stone chimney.
It is two storeys high and has a two-window range, with a blank wall on the left side of the elevation. There is a vehicle entrance on the left with double boarded doors beneath a boarded screen that leads to a segmental-headed arch with boarded voussoirs. The 20th-century shop front includes a deeply recessed, renewed glazed door and a window with glazing bars designed to imitate the Georgian style, along with a plain fascia.
On the first floor, there are canted oriel bays with wooden mullions, four-pane sash windows, and corniced flat roofs. The roof features an almost square-plan stone chimney at the right end, which has flat stone coping. The interior has not been inspected.
