Description
Number 5, along with the adjoining boundary wall and butcher's shop, is a house dating from the early 18th century, with additions and alterations from the 19th century. The building was reroofed and the gables were rebuilt in 1963. It is constructed of random granite rubble and brick, featuring stone quoins and dressings, topped with a concrete tile roof. The structure has rubble and chamfered stone plinths and a single central brick ridge stack.
The house is two storeys high and has three bays, forming an L-plan. The south front displays an off-centre panelled wooden doorcase with a flat hood supported by scroll brackets, leading to a 19th-century half-glazed door. To the left of the door are two glazing bar sash windows, while to the right is a three-light casement, all set in chamfered stone openings from the 18th century. Above this, to the left, is a three-light 19th-century casement, and to the right are two similar casements in chamfered stone openings.
On the east gable, there is a two-light 19th-century casement in a chamfered 18th-century stone opening, with a three-light mullioned window above it, where the left light is blocked. The rear wing on the east side features a 19th-century half-glazed door, flanked by a reglazed 19th-century casement, both with segmental heads. The west gable has a small mullioned casement on the left and a 20th-century casement on the right, with an illegible datestone above.
To the right of the house is a late 19th-century butcher's shop, built of white glazed brick with a blue band and a plain tile roof. This shop has a four-panel stable door, a plain door to the left, and a large sash window with a glazing bar upper light to the right. Further right is a single-storey 19th-century outbuilding made of granite rubble with a plain tile roof.
Surrounding the property is a granite rubble boundary wall with gabled brick coping, featuring a pair of off-centre blue brick gatepiers and a wooden gate. The wall is approximately 15 meters long.
