Description
No. 5 Court House is a house that has been converted into offices, dated 1692 and restored in the mid-20th century. It features roughcast walls, gable and rear lateral stacks, and a slate hipped roof, with a single-depth plan in an early Georgian style. The building is three storeys tall and has a six-window range. The front is symmetrical, with a doorway located four from the left, topped by an ornate shell hood supported by acanthus brackets. Above the door is a narrow panel inscribed with "IFM, 1692," and it has a wide two-panel door. The windows are restored cross windows with 20th-century leaded casements, and there is an inserted doorway in the left-hand window.
On the left side of the building, there is a two-centred arched second-floor window with a mullion and transom. The rear elevation includes a second-floor cross window and a small mullion window below it, along with the outline of a gabled house.
Inside, the entrance hall and the rooms on the left and right feature raised early 18th-century panelling and fire surrounds. The hall doorway on the right has an open segmental pediment. At the rear, there is a lateral stair with a quarter landing, and a similar stair leads to the second floor on the right. This stair has an uncut string, panelled square newels, thick barleysugar balusters, a moulded rail, wainscot from the ground floor, and a dado above. Additionally, there is a round-headed niche on the ground floor quarter-landing. It is reported that the building has been refronted.
