28, Church Street

No. 28 Church Street is a house that dates back to the late medieval period, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The house has two bays facing northwest and includes a 19th-century axial stack at the left end. At the right end, a vehicle way has been cut through the lower storey. There is a single-storey wing at the rear of the left end, roofed with red clay pantiles, along with a similar lean-to in the rear left corner. The building stands two storeys tall with an unlit attic.

On the ground floor, there is one early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights and a larger sash window with 12 lights, both featuring a moulded canopy in an early 19th-century style. The first floor has two early 19th-century sashes with 16 lights and one with 12 lights above the door. The entrance features an early 19th-century six-panel door, where the bottom panels are flush and the others are moulded, set within a reeded architrave that includes paterae and a moulded flat canopy. The front plaster is ashlared, while the rear elevation above the vehicle way is weatherboarded and has one 19th-century horizontal sash window with 12 lights.

Inside, the left lower room contains an early 19th-century fireplace with a reeded surround and paterae, flanked by recesses with semi-elliptical arches. There is a chamfered transverse beam with plain stops, mostly boxed in. Another early 19th-century semi-elliptical arch is located at the rear end of the entrance hall. To the right of the entrance hall, an axial beam is covered with paper and terminates in the vehicle way, where it is chamfered. The early 19th-century staircase features turned newels, a moulded handrail, and stick balusters. Most of the timber frame is hidden by interior finishes. The roof consists of coupled rafters, and there is no evidence of a crownpost structure. The rafters in the left bay are lightly smoke-blackened, suggesting that this area was once an open hall.
