Description
33 Church Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, dating from around 1800 and altered in the late 19th century. The exterior features painted scored render over coursed and squared sandstone rubble, topped with a slate roof and a multiple-flue chimney stack on the right-hand gable. The building has a double-depth plan with a rear wing to the right and stands three storeys tall beneath a moulded cornice with a blocking course.
It has two very widely spaced bays, with a first-floor sill band decorated with a Greek key motif, which is interrupted by lowered windows, and a plain sill band on the second floor. To the left, there is a tall segment-headed waggon entrance with a rusticated surround leading to the original doorway of the house, featuring double doors with raised and fielded panels. The ground floor was altered in the late 19th century to include a double-fronted shop window. The windows throughout have plain reveals, with 12-pane sashes on the first floor and 9-pane sashes on the second.
Inside, the first-floor back room is circular in plan, featuring a round-headed window and niches, along with a plaster ceiling that has a cornice with guttae and rosettes, and a central roundel adorned with radiating acanthus leaves and a reeded surround.
