Description
No. 5 Sadler Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the early 18th century but likely has earlier origins. The building is rendered and colourwashed, featuring double hipped roofs with ridges that run at right angles to the street. The roofs are covered with triple roll clay tiles and large half round hip and ridge tiles. The plan is double-depth.
The exterior consists of three storeys and four bays. The ground floor has a projecting shop front with a shallow-pitched Welsh slate-covered leanto roof above a very shallow fascia and cornice. There is a throughway to the left, which has a plain wrought-iron gate. The shop front includes a wide pair of doors on the left, a single display window, and a glazed door on the right that provides access to the first floor. The upper floors feature sash windows with timber architraves around the sash boxes, with 8-pane windows on the first floor and 4-pane windows on the second floor. These windows have thick glazing bars, and the building has a timber cornice and a plain parapet. The interior has not been inspected.
