Description

No. 5 Church Street is a two-storey building dated 1782, which has undergone 19th-century alterations and has rear extensions. Originally a school and schoolhouse, it is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof featuring tumbled parapet gables. The building has an end stack and a central ridge stack.

On the left side, the former school section includes a 19th-century closed brick porch with a plain tile gable roof, a door featuring a two-centred arch, and a brick label above it. There is a plaque above the door. This section also has two inserted three-light windows with glazing bars, which form pointed arches within a four-centred headed arch, also with a brick label.

To the right is the house section, which has a 19th-century closed porch with a hipped plain roof and fixed side lights flanking a four-panelled door. The ground floor has two modern windows, while the first floor features two windows, one of which is an original hung sash window with glazing bars. There is a band between the floors.

Inside, there is a sealed hearth and original two-panelled doors.
