Description
No. 5 Apthorpe Street is a cottage that was formerly known as the Harrow Public House. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and has later additions at the rear. The building features a timber frame that is rendered, and it has a steeply pitched roof covered with cedar wood shingles, which was originally thatched. The roof includes an original red brick ridge stack. The layout consists of two bays flanking a lobby entry. The cottage is two storeys high, with the left-hand room being cellared and a jettied right-hand gable end. There are four windows on the first floor, all of which are 20th century, including a small closet window that retains a fragment of an ovolo mullion. The doorway is located opposite the stack.
