Nos 5 And 6 And Adjoining Railings To Front

Nos 5 and 6, along with the adjoining railings at the front, form a row of houses that are now used as offices. They were built in the early 18th century and altered in the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed from finely jointed handmade brick and feature a plain tiled roof with gable-end parapets, kneelers, and three brick ridge stacks. The structure has two storeys and an attic, with a three-course band at both the first floor and attic levels, as well as a dentilled eaves cornice. The facade consists of eleven bays, with windows that have gauged flat heads and moulded architraves.

On the ground floor, there are four 18-pane sashes, three 24-pane sashes, and two narrow 12-pane sashes surrounding a doorway. The first floor features ten 18-pane sashes and one 24-pane sash. A skylight is located at the southern end of the roof. The entrance to No 5 is marked by a Gothick doorcase with groups of three slender columns supporting a moulded flat canopy on corbels, flanking a door made of six raised and fielded panels with a transom light. The entrance to No 6 has a porch with a flat roof and moulded eaves, supported by groups of four similar slender Gothick columns, leading to a door of eight raised and fielded panels. At the southern end of the facade, there is a ledged and battened door with a cambered head, and attic lights are present at the gable ends.

Inside, No 6 features a central hall with some reused 17th-century panelling and a dogleg staircase that has a moulded handrail, turned balusters, moulded treads, and a panelled dado. The lowest newel post is made up of a group of four balusters. Two rooms to the north of No 6, one on each main storey, are also panelled. The railings, located about one yard from the main front, curve at either end to connect with the end walls. They are made of early 19th-century cast iron on a brick base, topped with moulded ashlar coping, and extend approximately 25 yards in length, interrupted by the main entrance doors. The railings feature shaped finials, and the standards have urn finials, spaced at approximately three-yard intervals.
