Description
No. 6 Church Street is a house from the early 19th century and possibly earlier. It has a timber frame with a rendered brick front, ashlared render on the sides, and a gabled Welsh slate roof behind a parapet. The building has three storeys, cellars, and a two-storey rear extension with a catslide roof, creating an 'L' shaped plan.
On the exterior, the second floor features a slightly recessed double-hung sash window with small panes, flanked by a blind window. The first floor has similar windows but deeper in design. The ground floor includes one double-hung sash window like those above and a larger double-hung sash window with six large panes. The central doorcase is adorned with eared architraves and a boldly projecting pediment, while the door itself has two glazed lights above four raised-and-fielded panels. There are two rendered stacks: one at the northern gable end and another on the southern end of the front parapet, both topped with echinus-like moulding.
Inside, the northern ground-floor room features a mid-16th century mantel beam with a moulded chamfer and foliate decoration. The sides of the mantel have cupboard recesses with an elliptical arched niche topped with a cherub keystone and panelled side cupboards. The cellar's party wall with No. 5 is made of stone rubble, and there are two walls of around 1600 brickwork that include two pointed arched recesses. Additionally, a pair of brackets reused on the 20th-century rear porch are from a 15th-century jetty or part/tie beam junction, featuring moulded chamfers and carved spandrels with a star motif.
