Description

Two houses, numbers 3 and 4A Church Street, were built in the late 17th century and early 19th century. Number 3 is an early 19th-century building with two storeys and a basement, set over two bays, constructed of English garden wall bond brick, with a sandstone rubble plinth to number 4A. It features brick stacks and a Welsh slate roof. A door is located within the wall of number 4A. The basement windows are two-light casements, with one being a 20th-century replacement. The other windows are 16-pane sashes, with flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. There are end chimneys. Number 4A dates to the late 17th century and has three storeys and five bays. A five-panel door is recessed in a stop-chamfered stone surround, shared with number 3. A renewed door sits within a stone architrave, sheltered by an early 20th-century bracketed cornice hood. Two horizontal bands of brick divide the facade. The windows are near-flush 16-pane sashes, except for two-light casements with glazing bars on the top floor. Blocked bullseye windows are visible at the left end on the upper floors. Iron reinforcing tie ends are visible at the floor levels. A blocked boot-scraper recess is located by the entrance. The interior of number 4A contains a late 17th-century closed-string staircase.
