Description
Number 5 is a semi-detached house originally built around 1688 by William Blake. It was rebuilt in approximately 1933 by C.H. James, while retaining its general appearance. The house is constructed of red brick, featuring a plain brick band at the first floor level and below the parapet. It has three storeys and a basement, with four windows and a single recessed bay window to the left. The entrance includes a wooden doorcase with shaped brackets supporting a hood, a panelled door, and a radial patterned overlight. The windows are flush framed sashes with exposed boxing; the ground and second floors have segmental arches, while the second floor features flat arches. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted that little of the original remains. During the rebuilding, some sections of early 18th century wallpaper were discovered beneath painted deal panelling. The property also includes attached cast-iron railings to the areas and forecourt, set on a low brick wall, along with a gateway that has a lamp overthrow and lantern.
