Description
5 Broad Street is a Grade II listed building featuring painted brick and a slate roof, standing three storeys tall. The two properties are separated on the ground floor by a passage known as Boot Street. Number 4 has a single window range with a 20th-century shop front on the ground floor, which continues from Number 3. It features a canted oriel window with tripartite sashes on the first floor, a late 19th-century addition, and a low 6-pane sash window above, likely installed when the roof was raised in the late 19th century. Number 5 has a three-window range, with two 12-pane sashes with flat arched heads on the left and a canted oriel window on the right, also featuring a 12-pane sash window. The second storey has two 6-pane sash windows. A dentilled eaves band runs across the entire property.
At the rear, Number 4 has a short rubble and brick wing that is part of the original building, featuring a tall stair-window at the angle. Number 5 also has a short rear wing as part of the original structure, with a doorway that includes a 6-panelled door and a high overlight at the angle. Behind these, there is a later range, likely added in the early 19th century, which consists of a three-storeyed, four-window range with outer doorways, 12-pane sashes (five windows between the doorways on the ground floor), and 6-pane sashes beneath the eaves on the upper storey.
While the ground floors of both buildings have undergone significant alterations, they still retain parts of the original early 18th-century turned-baluster staircases in the rear wings.
