5-11 Damory Street

5-11 Damory Street is a row of four attached houses, built in the mid-19th century, with later alterations and additions. The houses are constructed of brick in a Flemish bond, with No. 5 painted and No. 7 rendered. They feature pitched roofs covered with slate or composite slate and have overhanging eaves. Each block of four houses has gable end and central ridge stacks.

The entrance front, facing west, includes a central entrance flanked by a window on each side, with three additional windows on the first floor. The window openings have lintels made of rubbed bricks, but most windows have been replaced with uPVC, except for No. 11, which retains its mid-19th century timber sashes. Each pair of houses shares an entrance that is covered by an iron ‘tent’ canopy hood, supported by wooden latticework side panels (which have been removed from Nos. 5-7). This entrance leads to a lobby area with a pair of recessed doorways, each serving one of the two paired houses. To the rear, each house originally had an attached single-storey outbuilding, but modern extensions have been added since.

The interiors are understood to have always been modestly fitted. Photographs from sales particulars for Nos. 7 and 9 indicate that their interiors have undergone modernization and some alterations over the years.
