Numbers 5 and 5a and 7 and Attached Railings

Numbers 5 and 5A and 7 are a pair of houses, now flats and a house, built around 1830 to 1840, with later additions and alterations including extensions to the rear. The building is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with painted stucco to the front and side facades, and has a cement-tile roof and cast-iron railings.

The design is symmetrical, with two storeys and a basement, and six first-floor windows arranged in a 3:3 pattern. There is a central projection, and plain pilaster strips mark each end. Central entrances are visible, with a 20th-century part-glazed door on the left and a six-panel door on the right. The surrounds have fielded paneling. The ground floor windows from the left consist of a 6/6 sash, a bay window with a 2/2 sash between 1/1 sashes, and two 6/6 sashes, all within tooled surrounds and featuring sills. The first floor has six 6/6 sash windows, also in tooled surrounds with sills, and a blind central opening to the left-hand house. The basement has 20th-century casements. A moulded cornice and blocking course are present, and end stacks are visible.

The interior of the properties retains original joinery and plasterwork, including moulded cornices in Number 5, and a dogleg staircase with stick balusters in Number 7. Attached railings are also part of the property.
