5 Forge Row

5 Forge Row is part of a terrace of industrial housing located on a hillside above the road. The houses feature colour-washed stone rubble external walls with a plinth and small eaves courses, topped by a gabled roof made of random stone slates arranged in diminishing courses. The terrace consists of two storeys with a single depth plan. Originally, each house had a western elevation with one window bay and one doorway, but now they have been altered to include two windows and two doors. The windows are small paned casements with two lights; the upper windows have flat heads at eaves level, while the lower windows and doorways have cambered heads. Stone stacks are present on the roofs.

While the interiors were not inspected during the last survey in January 1997, it is reported that each original floor had two very small rooms with internal walls likely framed in timber, stone flagged floors, and thin soft wood ground floor ceiling joists with small chamfers. The staircases are positioned against the front walls, and there are back doors. The cottages were expanded in size during a conversion in 1987-1988, resulting in interiors that are mostly from that time, although the staircases are said to have survived the alterations.
