5-13, Spencer Street

A terrace of five houses at 5-13 Spencer Street, Royal Leamington Spa, built around 1832-1839, with later additions and alterations, including 20th-century shop fronts on the ground floor. The building is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco facade and cement-tile and Welsh slate roofs. It features tall party-wall stacks with cornices, though the cornice is missing from number 13.

The terrace is three storeys with attics, presenting eleven first-floor windows arranged in a 3:2:2:2:2 pattern. The left-hand bay is recessed. The first floor features a 6/6 sash window, a blind opening, a 10-pane French window with a divided overlight, and eight 6/6 sash windows. Windows 2 through 7 have a frieze and cornice supported by acanthus corbels, which are missing from windows 8 and 9. Blind boxes and floating cornices are present on windows 10 and 11. The second floor has three 3/6 casement windows and the rest are 3/6 sashes, all with sills, set in plain reveals. The frieze is missing to the left side of the building, and the cornice is missing from the far left. A low parapet with copings tops the facade. Attic dormers are located on numbers 9 and 11.

The ground floor entrance to number 5 is a 6-panel door with an overlight. A shop front has a projecting bay with plate-glass windows, a frieze on brackets, and a cornice. The remaining ground floor entrances are glazed and incorporated into shop fronts. The interior of the building was not inspected.
