Description

1 and 1A St John's Street is a house and possible former coach-house, now used as offices, dating from the 18th century. No. 1A features painted brick with a slate roof and a rendered end stack. It is a single storey building with a cellar and has a six-window range with 20th-century, two-light casements that have casement overlights, all set in arcading with semicircular gauged brick arches. There is a continuous stone band, and the central arch has a glazed head with two glazing bars, topped by a moulded stone open pediment hood supported by a keyblock and fluted consoles. The right-hand arch, located in a recessed bay, has a fanlight.

No. 1 is constructed of painted rendered brick and also has a slate roof, with a brick stack at the front. This two-storey building has a two-window range featuring late 19th-century, three-over-three sashes in beaded cases, a storey band, a parapet, and a prominent roof dormer. To the right, there are 20th-century panelled double doors beneath a 19th-century moulded wood flat hood on consoles. The left side has a canted return and a three-window range with similar sashes, a parapet, and a prominent slate-hung dormer that contains four 19th-century, two-over-two sashes in moulded cases, along with four similar sashes on the ground floor and a returned storey band.

Inside No. 1, there is a late 19th-century winder staircase with pierced splat balusters and turned newels leading to the first floor, and a 19th-century flight to the second floor. The second floor features exposed purlins, architraves to windows and doors, five four-panel doors, and a ceiling rose. The first floor has an early 19th-century four-panel door, a wall cupboard with two-panel doors, two four-panel doors, signs of timber framing, and a massive stack. The ground floor includes margin-glazed double doors with an overlight and coloured glass, as well as a 19th-century strongroom door. The cellar has a plank door, brick and slate bins, and a brick arched alcove. In No. 1A, there is a late 19th-century carved oak fireplace and overmantel.
