Description

Numbers 5 and 6 Bartholomews are terraced houses and shops built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of brick in Flemish bond, with stucco cement dressing on No.5 and stucco on No.6. The roofs are hidden by parapets.

The buildings are four storeys high, with No.6 having an attic storey added sometime after 1865. Each house has two windows, and the ground floor features shops. All windows are flat arched. Both buildings share a common design. The first-floor windows of each are set in an aedicule, which consists of a pair of Tuscan pilasters topped by an entablature and pediment. No.5 has floor-to-ceiling first-floor windows that open onto a shallow balcony, which is formed from the roof of the shopfront below and enclosed by a cast-iron railing with a lattice and star pattern. The upper floor windows of both houses have architraves and projecting sills. The entablature and projecting cornice at the top of No.5 extends across to No.6, which has a straight join between the two. No.6 is topped by the added attic storey, which also has an entablature and parapet. There are stacks on the party walls.

The interiors were not inspected. Numbers 5 and 6 form a group with Numbers 1, 3, and 4 Bartholomews.
