5, Broad Street

No. 5 Broad Street is a town house with a later shop, dating from the 17th century, with its front remodeled in the mid-19th century. The building features a stucco exterior on a timber frame that jetties out on the upper floors, with slate hanging on the visible left-hand return. It has a rag-slate roof and an original rubble stack on the left, which has a ramped entablature that was later heightened with brick. The structure has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall with a two-window range.

On the second floor, there are mid-19th century sixteen-pane hornless sash windows above paired four-pane hornless sashes set within recessed segmentally-arched panels. The ground floor showcases a late 19th-century double shop front with slender clustered columns and return lights at the ends, featuring a splayed central doorway and a 20th-century fascia that obscures the original fascia. This is positioned under the jetty and is adorned with an acanthus cornice and scrolled brackets. To the right, there are a pair of keyed round-arched doorways, which include the entrance to No. 7, with blind fanlights above moulded cornices and six-panel doors that have later glazed top panels. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
