Description
No. 28 Church Street is a house dating from around 1700. It is built of English garden wall bond brick with a rendered plinth and painted ashlar dressings, topped by a Welsh slate roof. The building has four storeys and three bays.
The door on the right is part of No. 28a. There is an internal step up to the second-bay door, which features six beaded panels within an architrave. The windows on either side of the door are late 19th century sashes with flat brick arches and projecting stone sills, and there is a small square sash window to the right. The earlier windows have header-course lintels and are mostly blocked or blind, except for a sash window at the centre of the top floor that has broad glazing bars. The building also has three-brick-wide floor bands, with a brick chimney at the left end and another on the ridge in the third bay.
