33, Church Street

33 Church Street is an attached town house dating from the 18th century, located in Bromyard. The building is constructed from rubble stone with stone dressings, and has a slate roof. The plan is almost square, with a small outshut at the centre rear.

The house is two storeys high and has three bays, exhibiting a symmetrical front with a central entrance. It has a hipped roof to the north. The central entrance doorway is flanked by eight-over-eight hornless sash windows, set in dressed openings with cambered heads, stucco architraves, and keyblocks. The doorway itself features pilasters flanking a door of six fielded panels, above which is a narrow, rectangular fanlight within an entablature with a moulded cornice. Moulded eaves are followed by a slate hipped roof with rectangular brick end stacks and a similar stack to the rear. The northern return displays irregular fenestration, including some timber casements. The interior has not been inspected.

Bromyard is a small market town first recorded around 840. No. 33 Church Street is situated on a main thoroughfare, adjoining the church and the market square. The area was fully built up by the early 17th century, although some plots have been redeveloped since. The building is designated at Grade II for its architectural interest – it is a good 18th-century townhouse with a classical doorframe and attractive detailing to the window surrounds. It is also recognised for its intactness and its group value alongside the numerous other listed buildings in Church Street.
