5 Main Street, Carrington

This is a mid-19th century cottage, built as part of Carrington Village to serve Carrington Mains, which is part of the Rosebery Estate. It is a single storey, L-shaped building with four bays. The exterior is constructed from tooled, squared, and snecked pink sandstone, with broached dressings. The detailing includes projecting cills and long and short quoins.

The north (entrance) elevation is asymmetrical, with two gabled bays that project to the left. Each of these bays has a small window with two panes. A blind vertical recess is set into the gablehead of the left-hand bay. A boarded timber door is located in the penultimate bay to the right, with a window in the outermost bay to the right. A coped rubble wall with a boarded timber door adjoins No. 4 Main Street.

The west elevation is also asymmetrical, with two bays. A canted window is situated centrally within the advanced gabled bay on the right, and a window is located in the bay to the left. The south and east elevations were not visible in 1998.

The windows are a variety of timber sash and case designs. The roof is red pantiled, featuring a terracotta ridge and coped stone skews. The chimney stacks are coped, harled and have gablehead and ridge stacks with circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present. The interior was not inspected in 1998.

No. 5 is similar in style to other cottages in the village but was constructed slightly later. It includes a wall to the east as part of its statutory address.
