5 The Row, Longformacus

5 The Row in Longformacus is an earlier 19th century cottage that has undergone some later alterations. This single-storey building with an attic features two bays and is part of an irregular terrace. It is constructed from harl-pointed rubble with droved sandstone dressings. The openings have long and short sandstone surrounds with chamfered edges and projecting cills.

On the southeast, or entrance elevation, there is a two-leaf boarded timber door in the left bay, while the right bay has a timber-mullioned bipartite window at ground level. Above, a gabled stone wallhead dormer breaks the eaves.

The northwest, or rear elevation, was not visible in 1997. The ground level features a lying-pane timber sash and case window, and the dormer light has 12-pane glazing in a timber sash and case style, along with small rooflights. The roof is covered with grey slate, has raised stone skews, and includes replacement rainwater goods. A sandstone ridge stack is located to the northeast, possibly shared with the adjacent No 6, and features circular terracotta cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997. In front of the house, there is a cobbled path that forms part of a continuous stretch along the front of the terrace.
