5, Belvedere

No. 5, Belvedere is a late 18th-century terrace house, later used as a shop with accommodation above. It is situated on a slope, stepping up from No. 4 to the left, and features a shop on the ground floor. The building was altered in the mid-19th century.

The building is constructed of painted limestone ashlar, with a double-pitched slate roof, a dormer window, and a moulded stack to the left party wall. The plan is double depth. The exterior has three storeys with an attic and basement, and a two-window front. It includes a coped parapet, a stopped cornice, and splayed reveals to horned plate glass windows on the first floor. The second floor has a single tripartite sash window. A mid-19th-century shop front is present. A moulded cornice to the shop fascia extends to the right, covering a passage entrance to Nicholl’s Place to the rear. There is an elaborate fretted frieze above a projecting, canted shop window on the left. The shop front features three plate glass panes and overlights, with a glazed plinth that illuminates the basement. A segmental arched, half-glazed door, located on the right-hand facet of the shop front, has an octagonal opening pane in the overlight. The passageway has a late 19th-century painted timber semi-elliptical arch supported on consoles. The interior has not been inspected.
