Description
No. 5 St John's Street is a house and shop, now functioning as a shop with storage above. It dates from the early to mid 19th century and is constructed from timber framing with a rendered finish and a slate roof. The building stands three storeys tall, featuring a single sash window on each of the upper floors; the first floor has a 12-pane window, while the second floor has a 9-pane window, both set in flush cased frames. The ground floor showcases a 19th-century shop front with console brackets supporting the fascia. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing that is also timber framed and rendered. The interior does not display any features indicating an earlier core to the building. This property is included for its group value as part of the street scene.
