Description

5, 6, and 7 Prince's Street are three town houses that have been converted into two shops and an office. They date from the early to mid-18th century. Nos. 5 and 6, on the left, feature an upper floor of slate hanging on studwork, while No. 7 has a stuccoed ground floor on masonry and studwork above. The buildings have steep dry Delabole slate roofs with deep eaves supported by wooden modillioned and moulded cornices, and there are five gabled slate-hung dormers, including two on No. 7 with pediments and two more on its hipped return. A brick axial stack is located between Nos. 6 and 7. The structure has a double-depth plan on a tapered site between Quay Street and Prince's Street, with two storeys plus attics and an overall six-window range.

No. 5 features two late 19th-century horned sash windows above an early 20th-century shop front with consoles and a moulded fascia. No. 6 has three similar sash windows above a 20th-century double shop front flanking a central doorway, which is topped by a pedimented hood. No. 7 has a symmetrical one-window front with a plinth and stucco quoins; it includes a central early 19th-century tripartite hornless sash with glazing bars above an original wooden Roman Ionic doorway, complete with a full entablature to the hood, linked to a moulded wooden string cornice over flanking late 19th-century horned sashes. The right-hand return of No. 7 has a similar symmetrical three-window front.

Inside, No. 7 retains a virtually complete and high-quality interior, featuring panelled doors, fielded dado panelling, and moulded ceiling cornices in the principal rooms. The front chamber includes an eared chimney piece with an overmantel featuring a scrolled head, and the ceiling has a round central panel with square corner panels. There is also a dogleg stair with turned balusters.
