5, Office Square

No. 5 Office Square is a manor house that was once three separate dwellings but has now been united. It dates from the 17th century and is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and irregular quoins. The roof is stone-flagged, featuring stone gable copings and a ridge. The building has two storeys and five bays, with the second bay projecting under a gable.

The entrance features a partly-glazed, renewed panelled door set in a chamfered flat-Tudor-arched surround with block jambs, located in the fourth bay. On either side of the door are sash windows with glazing bars; the left window is in a plain stone surround, while the right window is set under an inserted flat stone lintel. There are also plain stone surrounds for two-light casements and small paired chamfered fixed lights positioned high in the gabled projection. A wide re-used lintel with a hole for an iron bar is located below one of the windows, and there is a small blocked opening on the first floor between the third and fourth bays.

The quoins and the change in character of the rubble suggest that the rightmost first-floor bay is an addition, after which the eaves of the three right bays were raised. The interior has not been inspected.
