Description
Number 5 is a house, originally part of a longer row of tenements, dating to the early 19th century. It incorporates elements from around 1300, a possible range from the 15th century, and a wing from around 1600, with later 19th-century alterations. The front has a rendered facade incised to resemble panelling, while the street front is a mix of coursed limestone and buff-orange brick in a Flemish bond pattern. Roofs are tiled and pantiled, with brick stacks.
The entrance front has two storeys and three gabled bays, the left bay being angled. The right bay contains a door with moulded geometric panelling beneath a canopy hood, alongside a 12-pane sash window. The first-floor window in this bay is a 16-pane sash, and the attic window is a 2-light casement with square lattice glazing. The middle bay has decorative glazing in a small ground-floor window and a 16-pane sash window on the first floor. The left bay features 16-pane sashes on both floors. All windows have painted stone sills. A raised first-floor string course runs along the facade. Rainwater goods are fitted with fleurs-de-lys clamps, moulded hoppers, and winged cherub decorations at the roof valleys.
The street front includes a two-storey bay to the left and a three-storey, single-window bay to the right. The two-storey section features a square oriel window on the first floor, displaying St Peter's keys and the date 1891 carved underneath, as well as a small window to the right. The three-storey section has a six-panel passage door to the right of a pair of four-pane sash windows. There is a single four-pane sash on the first floor and a two-by-four-pane Yorkshire sash on the second floor. The remainder of the original range has been incorporated into 2 College Street.
The interior retains fragments of timber framing throughout. The entrance hall contains a re-arranged staircase with a moulded close string, bulbous balusters, square newels with attached half balusters, and a flat handrail. A wing to the left displays exposed heavy scantling ceiling joists on the ground floor, and a first-floor room retains dado panelling and a bolection-moulded fireplace. The wing to the right features rooms on the ground and first floors lined with square panelling, including a panelled chimney piece on the ground floor. A brick chimney hood remains. In the attic room, a portion of a passing-brace roof truss is visible.
The attached garden railings are square in section, with turned standards topped by urn finials. The gate posts have bell finials.
