Description

5 New Street is a late Georgian building with Victorian alterations. It is two stories high and features a two-window design with scribed stucco, render, and roughcast fronts. The building has slate roofs, wide bracket eaves, and chimney stacks made of rubble and brick, some of which are cement rendered.

The sash windows have small pane glazing, which is retained in both first-floor windows of No 3 and in the left-hand first-floor windows of Nos 7 and 13. Most other windows are horned. There is an oriel window to the right of No 5 and two-storey bay windows at Nos 7 and 13, which mostly have panelled aprons. No 3 has keystoned architraves, while Nos 9 and 13 feature plain architraves. No 9 has Tudor labels on the ground floor, and Nos 11 and 13 have segmental labels above their central entrances. Other entrances are offset to the left next to an altered shop front at No 3. No 5 has twin tripartite windows, and additional windows are located at the centres of Nos 7 and 9. The doors are half glazed and panelled, and there are some small pane basement windows.

The left end wall facing Castle Street is roughcast and includes sash windows.
