SD4761NE GREAT JOHN STREET 1685-1/7/121 (East side) Nos.5 AND 7
GV II
Pair of houses, now shops and flats. Early C19, altered later C19. Coursed dressed sandstone with ashlar dressings and random rubble sides and rear. Slate roof with coped gables, and a ridge and 2 gable stacks. Double-depth plan. 3 storeys above a basement expressed as an ashlar plinth; raised quoins, sill bands to the upper floors, a plain frieze and moulded cornice with a low blocking course. 3 widely-spaced bays, (originally divided so that No.5 was double-fronted but subsequent internal alterations have made No.7 double-fronted, at least on the ground floor). The entrances, between the bays, are approached up low flights of steps, those to No.5 parallel, and those to No.7 perpendicular, to the wall, both with replaced railings. The doorways have plain surrounds under shallow moulded cornices. All the windows are tripartite with stone mullions. The windows are sashed, with no glazing bars to those on the ground floor and in the right-hand bay. The remainder have glazing bars except for the central light at the left on the first floor, which now contains a casement. Below each ground-floor window is a basement window with bars. The right-hand door has a glazed panel with diagonal glazing bars above 4 raised and fielded panels. The left-hand door is also panelled but is partly covered by a sign board. The right-hand return wall has a 3-stage stair window. INTERIOR: No.7 has a dogleg staircase with a closed string, thick stick balusters, and a handrail with a raised handgrip.
