Description
5 Spring Gardens is a house in a terrace row that originally consisted of four houses. Each house was either rendered or made of whitewashed rubble, featuring a slate gabled roof and end stacks. The building is two storeys high with an attic and a basement, originally designed with a three-window range and a central door. However, the fourth house was altered in the 19th century to create Nos 4 and 5, resulting in the loss of the central window and door. Originally, the houses had small-paned 12-pane sash windows and thin sill-courses.
No 5 is part of a pair of houses with No 4, both constructed from a single 18th-century house. It has an unpainted roughcast exterior, is two storeys tall with a basement and attic, and features a one-window range with a door that is paired with that of No 4. The central basement door aligns with the windows above, and there is a small basement window to the right, all of which have been replaced with later 20th-century uPVC. A flight of stone steps leads up to the ground floor door on the right, which is also a later 20th-century addition with a rectangular overlight beneath a gabled hood supported by timber brackets. The roof has two skylights and a left end stack. The property has not been inspected and appears to have been modernised.
