5, Duke Street

No. 5 Duke Street is a large village house built in the mid to late 19th century. It features slatestone rubble brought to course with granite dressings and a steep dry slate gabled roof. The house has tall stuccoed shafts on gabled lateral rubble stacks and a double-depth plan, designed in the Tudor Gothic style. It stands two storeys high with attics and has a three-window range facing Duke Street, topped by two coped gables with corbelled kneelers. The windows are mullioned cross windows with four-pane lights, except for the first-floor left which has a pair of eight-pane horned sashes, and there are six-pane casements in each attic gable. The porch is approximately central, steeply coped, with corbelled kneelers and a chamfered four-centred arched doorway, featuring a four-panel top-glazed door. The other elevations are similarly detailed, including a porch on the left-hand return. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
