5 Priory Street

5 Priory Street is part of a group of six consecutive three-storey houses with stucco fronts and painted finishes, topped with Welsh slate roofs that are hidden behind parapets. The houses form a convex terrace and some originally featured shops on the ground floor. There are a total of nineteen windows on the first floor, arranged in a pattern of 5, 3, 3, 3, and 5. The ground floor includes four shopfronts for Nos. 1 to 4, an arched entrance to White Swan Court, and tripartite 6 over 6 pane sashes for Nos. 5 and 6.

The shopfronts are framed by fluted strip pilasters, while No. 3 and the entrance to White Swan Court are flanked by plain Doric pilasters. Nos. 5 and 6 feature single pilasters at either end and three paired pilasters framing the tripartite windows. The entrance to White Swan Court has a notable pair of original double panelled doors. The ground floor also has six-panel doors with arched heads, impost blocks, and radiating fanlights. A continuous cornice at the ground floor level serves as a cill band for the first-floor windows, which are large 6 over 9 pane sashes, with blind boxes on those of No. 4.

Nos. 3 and the entrance to White Swan Court have giant pilasters extending through the first and second floors, adorned with Composite capitals. There is a cill band for the second-floor windows, all of which are 3 over 3 pane sashes. A cornice band and parapet band are present, and No. 4 features an additional attic floor with a pediment and a Diocletian lunette window. The other houses each have one small flat-topped dormer visible behind the parapet. The rear elevations of Nos. 1 to 3 are not visible. The entry to White Swan Court is flat-topped and framed by plain pilasters, with a first-floor 4-light window set in an arched recess and a tripartite sash above. Nos. 5 and 6 have various plain sashes as previously described. The interior was not seen during the resurvey.
