Statement of Interest

No 5 George Street abutting and obscuring most of entrance front. Round-arched doorway probably dates from building of No 5. Spiral staircase against this party wall is central and where entrance door might have been expected and possibly also dates from this time, similarly the prominent gabled dormer which attempts to create a new entrance front to the rear (E). Present entrance reached via 8-step flight from small courtyard.
