Description
No 5 Church Row is a terrace house built from rubble stone, featuring a slate roof with deep eaves and red brick chimneys at the right end. The roof has a scalloped eaves board, and the chimneys consist of a renewed pair of red brick shafts set diagonally, shared with No 4. The house is two stories tall and has a three-window range, with a projecting gable on the right side. This gable displays scalloped bargeboards, a tooled sandstone plinth, and windows that have deep chamfered jambs, stone sills, and moulded sandstone hoodmoulds above timber lintels. The gable includes a single light window, while the ground floor features a mullion-and-transom three-light window. The main range to the left has two small windows located under the eaves, both with chamfered jambs and stone sills; the left window is narrower. Below these, there is a similar three-light window with a hoodmould and a segmental-pointed chamfered doorway that has a studded board door with iron strap hinges. The rear of the house has 20th-century windows on each floor, with the upper ones being gabled. The interior has not been inspected.
