Description

5 Backhall Street is a two-storey building with a central entrance plan and a rear wing that projects to form an L-shape. The exterior is roughcast rendered, likely over local rubble stone, and features Welsh slate roofs, pantiles on the kitchen wing, red ridge tiles, and a red brick stack. The street-facing elevation includes a central panelled door with a pilastered surround and a blocked semi-circular fanlight above it. There are three plain sash windows with 6 over 6 pane sashes. The roof is plain with gable ends and a ridge stack on the left gable. The right return gable has a modern window with a top light on the ground floor. The rear wing has another modern window on the ground floor but is otherwise blind. The single-storey kitchen wing that projects beyond the rear wing is also blind and features a stack on the end gable. The building was not inspected at the time of resurvey.
