5, Trinity Road

No. 5 Trinity Road is a house in a row with a restaurant, dating from the early 18th century. The front is rendered, while the ground floor is made of rubble and the first floor is brick, topped with a slate roof. The ceiling pitch of this property is noticeably lower than that of the adjoining buildings, and the steeper roof suggests it is older. The layout indicates it was originally two small houses.

The building has two storeys and an attic, with two windows. Above the 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, there are flat-roofed, two-light small-pane casement dormers. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century casement window and a fine late 18th-century or early 19th-century flat-roofed square bay multi-pane shop front, along with a 20th-century glazed door set back to the right under a plain transom light, all beneath a moulded cornice. To the far left, there is a flush six-panel, part-glazed door under a deep wooden lintel and a slight flat hood supported by carved consoles. The bay window is embraced by a deep plinth, and there is a large central ridge stack. The rear features one flat dormer and a deep slated wing on the east side. The interior has not been inspected. This building is an important earlier survival, notable for its particularly fine display window. The former listing records a corrugated asbestos roof and a three-light casement on the ground floor.
