Description
No 5 Sun Street is a house, now functioning as a club, built around 1760. It features Flemish bond brickwork with red quoins and dressings, and has a half-hipped M-shaped roof covered with old tiles. The building has brick stacks at both ends and a lateral stack at the rear. It is designed in the mid-Georgian style, comprising two storeys and an attic, with a five-window range where three central bays are slightly projected. The entrance includes panelled double doors set in panelled reveals, topped by a pedimented doorcase with fluted pilasters and a dentilled cornice. Above the 12-pane sash windows are gauged flat brick arches. The building has a raised storey band, a bracketed wood cornice, and flat-roofed dormers. There is a late 19th-century brick extension with Welsh slate roofs at the rear.
Inside, the ground-floor room features an 18th-century plaster cornice and a decorative fanlight above an altered door leading to the rear. The stair hall at the back has a bracketed cornice and a fine open-well staircase with a ramped mahogany handrail, turned balusters on an open string, and foliate carved brackets. The first-floor room at the front has panelled soffits to the beams, panelled walls with a dentilled cornice, and two classical fireplaces with fluted friezes.
