Description
38 and 39 Church Street are two semi-detached houses built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of gault brick, with the southeast wall being timber-framed and covered in painted weatherboarding. The houses have a hipped roof made of Welsh slate, featuring a lead roof and red clay hip tiles.
The front of the houses has a plain parapet and four double-hung sash windows with small panes, which are recessed under slightly arched, rubbed brick heads. On the ground floor, there are two similar double-hung sash windows and two Doric door cases, each with flat hoods, pilasters, and doors that have four flush panels with rectangular plain fanlights above. Number 38 includes a 19th-century yard entry door with four flush panels and a cast-iron screen in front of the lower half of the window. The houses have a black tarred plinth and holes indicating where former bootscrapers were located. There are two ridgeline stacks.
The rear elevation features red Flemish-bond brickwork and a modillioned cornice, but this is now obscured by two hipped-roof, two-storey extensions made of red brick; one is covered in clay pantiles and the other in concrete plain tiles. The lower halves of the walls are rendered, and there is a two-storey flat-roofed projection between the extensions. The rear has flush double-hung sash windows with moulded surrounds, with one window featuring a segmental brick arch above it. There is a linking yard wall between the projecting extensions.
Inside number 38, there is an early 19th-century staircase that has a wreathed handrail, stick balusters, and a tapering newel with a fluted base.
