5, Cliff Street

5 Cliff Street is a house built in the late 18th century, constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a pantile roof that features a 20th-century dormer. The building has three storeys, each with a single window. At the time of listing in 1972, these windows were double hung sashes set in moulded wood surrounds with modern glazing bars. By 2010, the windows had been replaced with flush framed nine-pane timber windows, where the upper three panes are top hung casements. The ground and first floor windows have gauged brick flat arches. The front door, located to the left, consists of six panels with a three-pane overlight, sheltered by a porch with a curved top supported by a moulded bracket. To the right, there is a shaped kneeler on the raised gable and a brick end stack. The forecourt features a stone retaining wall. Only the front elevation was inspected, and the interior was not examined.

This building is designated at Grade II for several reasons: its late 18th-century date, the craftsmanship evident in the use of Flemish bond brickwork, its form as a relatively rare example of a narrow frontage townhouse, and its group value with other listed properties on Cliff Street.
