No. 5 Myddylton Place is a house dating from the late 15th or early 16th century, with alterations made in the late 16th century and an enlargement in 1988. The building features timber framing, brick, and a roof made of peg and clay tiles. It has a rectangular plan, with the northern end room being a flying freehold over No. 6. The house is one and a half storeys tall and includes a basement.

The front west elevation shows exposed framing across three bays, with the northern end bay clearly built separately. The ground floor has a 19th-century bead-moulded boarded door, flanked by two 20th-century two-light casement windows with glazing bars, each containing four panes by three. There is a basement light located to the north of the door. Above, there is a simple 19th-century casement window under the eaves at the northern end, along with two 20th-century gabled dormer windows, each with two-light casement windows featuring four panes by three.

The rear elevation includes a full-height 20th-century brick addition from 1988, which is painted and has two large fixed oval windows that light the ground floor and basement. Beyond this addition, part of the rear roof is visible, featuring a 20th-century skylight and a 19th-century stack. The southern side elevation is made of early 19th-century red brick and has a 20th-century boarded door.

Inside, the structure features an outer frame and a three-bay system with braced tie-beams, heavy roof rafters, and side purlins that show slight sooting. There is a late 16th-century inserted floor with flat-laid joists and lamb's tongue chamfer stops on the principals. The fireplaces date to around 1800, with the ground floor fireplace having a timber lintel and the first floor featuring a brick arch. The current staircase is located in front of the stack, while the original staircase is said to have been behind the stack and had block treads. Additionally, the rear garden wall is listed under the garden boundary wall of No. 3 High Street.
