Description

5 Rectory Lane is a two-storey terrace of three cottages built in the early 20th century, showcasing Garden City style. The medium-pitched tile roof features part-rendered and part-brick stacks with simple mouldings and dentilation. The eaves are plain with exposed rafters. The facade is near symmetrical, pebble-dashed, with a Ruabon brick plinth that extends to the ground floor cill level. The upper floor slightly oversails, and there is a central storeyed and gabled porch for No. 4, which is coped and adorned with ball finials and simple moulded kneelers. A moulded plaque in the gable displays the date 1913, accompanied by a returned label. Below, a glazed oculus with nine panes is set beneath radiating key stones, all detailing crafted in reconstituted stone.

The entrance features a flat, moulded canopy supported by moulded wooden brackets. It has a recessed four-panel door, with the upper panels glazed. On either side of the entrance are flush, splayed buttresses. The flanking bays contain projecting casement windows, with the first-floor windows having 12 panes, while the ground-floor windows are tripartite, featuring a central arched section with 12 panes and flanking sections of six panes. Heavily-moulded hoods are present throughout. At the first floor level, large projecting gables are supported by wooden brackets, showcasing decorative timber framing with moulded eaves brackets and exposed purlins. The tripartite casement windows consist of three sections with six panes each. The ground floor features canted bays with cross windows, displaying six and four panes at the top and nine and six panes at the bottom, with brick cills.

To the right, the entrance to No. 3 mirrors the previous design but includes a modern door, with a double casement window above. To the left, No. 5 has a similar entrance and an offset window, with a double casement window above. The rear of No. 3 features three stepped-down gables, the last of which is single storey.
