Description
Nos. 9 and 10 Chapel Street are a pair of town houses, now used as offices, built around 1800 to 1810 and altered since. They are constructed of brown brick in English garden wall bond, featuring scored stucco on the ground floor and a slate roof. The houses have a double-depth plan and are single-fronted, standing three storeys over cellars with symmetrical façades that include one window on the ground floor and one on the first floor.
The buildings have a plinth and sill-bands at the ground and first floors, along with a plain shallow frieze. The doorways are centrally located, coupled, and accessed by three steps, each framed by plain stone surrounds beneath a single pediment decorated with dentils. The ground floor features late 19th-century square windows with altered glazing, wedge lintels with keystones, and moulded borders, along with banded rustication below the sill-band. The first floor has a moulded sill-band and sashed windows with wedge lintels, both retaining glazing bars but with alterations to the lower leaves. The second floor has square windows with raised sills and heads beneath the eaves; the window on the right is sashed without glazing bars, while the other has altered glazing. The rear and interior have not been inspected. These houses are included for their group value.
