Description
Number 5 is a farmhouse, now used as a house, and it has an attached former cowhouse to the south, which is now a garage and store. The farmhouse dates from the 16th or 17th century and was remodeled in the mid-to-late 19th century. It has a timber-framed structure that has been refaced or rebuilt using coursed limestone rubble and features a slate roof. The building has a T-plan layout with a projecting gabled cross-wing to the south and is one storey high with an attic. A large central stone ridge stack is present.
On the ground floor, there is a late 20th-century four-light wooden casement window in the hall range to the left. The right-hand cross-wing has a 2-light late 19th-century metal attic casement and a 3-light metal casement window off-centre to the left. There is also a six-panelled door, with the top panels glazed, to the right, which is sheltered by a gabled porch. The exposed timber frame is visible in the jettied gable-end at the rear of the cross-wing, and there is a gabled eaves-dormer at the rear of the hall range.
The former cowhouse to the south likely dates from the early to mid-19th century and is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with a graded slate roof. It is two storeys high and has a late 20th-century concrete block addition to the west. The cowhouse features a boarded loft door and a two-leaf boarded stable floor door to the east, along with a later corrugated iron addition. There are also late 20th-century boarded garage doors in the corrugated-iron clad gable-end to the south.
