Description
No. 25 Sun Street is a late 18th-century coach house that has been converted into part of a printing works. It underwent alterations in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with coursed rubble on the sides and rear, topped with a slate roof. It has a double-depth plan featuring gable chimney stacks and a rear extension to the left. The structure stands three storeys tall and consists of three bays, with two wide bays and a narrow one to the right.
There is a decorative band between the ground and first floors, supported by stone gutter-brackets. The ground floor features two arched openings that are now blocked and partly glazed, with their imposts forming a broken band and keystones that rise to meet the band above. To the right, there is a narrow doorway, which now has a glazed door; the lower face of its lintel is hollowed to create the appearance of a basket arch. All windows have plain reveals but feature recent joinery, and the windows above the arches have concrete lintels. The masonry infill between the upper windows in the left-hand bay suggests that there may have been a loading slot here.
Inside, the ground floor was originally open, with a staircase leading to the first floor across the back wall. Historically, the building was marked as a police station on the 1845 Ordnance Survey map, although it was originally built as a coach house on the ground floor.
