Description
No. 5 is a house that has been converted into flats, built around 1770 with a second floor added in the early 19th century and some later alterations. The front is made of limestone ashlar, which is painted up to the second floor sills, while the rear is also ashlar. The building features a double pile parapeted roof covered with artificial slate, and has a coped party wall with two truncated ashlar stacks on the left.
The house has three storeys and a basement, with a three-window front. On the first floor, there are three 20th-century canted oriel windows. The second floor has plate glass horned sashes set in plain reveals with stone sills, along with a similar blind window in the center. The ground floor features plate glass sashes on the left and right, set in 19th-century moulded architraves with stone sills. In the center, there is a 20th-century door within a 19th-century projecting stone porch that has a shouldered lintel and carved console brackets supporting a heavy moulded cornice that is recessed at the center front. The area in front is paved with pennant stone and is mostly filled in, except for gratings on the left and right that light two-light timber casements below, with four-pane casements above the transom.
There are remains of what appears to be a former eaves cornice over the first floor, with an offset in the wall above, and a moulded eaves cornice with a coped parapet. The former second floor sill band has been cut back and is only visible on the left return. The rear elevation has 19th and 20th-century windows, including a six/nine sash on the second half-landing, a six/six sash on the second floor left, and wrought iron balconettes on the first floor right and second half-landing. There are also French doors with border glazing on the ground floor, and a 19th-century ashlar extension up to the first half-landing. The interior has not been inspected.
