Description
13 and 15 Church Street is a pair of houses that were originally separate, with the southern house dating from around 1600 and the north-west house from around 1670. They were unified into one house in the mid-20th century. The exterior features a rendered and colourwashed timber frame with pantile roofs.
The southern house has two storeys and an attic, with a two-window range on the east front. It has two 2-light arch-headed casements on each floor, which were renewed in the 20th century. The gabled roof has external gable-end stacks at both ends. The south gable end includes a plank half-glazed door within a timber surround, while the north return is accessed through a plank door. Above this door is a 5-light diamond-mullioned window, and there is a 2-light 20th-century casement in the attic. The rear features a 2-storey outshut from the 19th century.
The north-west block is also two storeys with a two-window range, featuring two 2-light arch-headed casements on each floor, similarly renewed in the 20th century. There is a plate-glass door to the left, and the gabled roof has an internal gable-end stack to the north. The north gable has a 5-light diamond-mullioned window on the ground floor, with a slightly jettied upper floor.
Inside the southern part, the main ground-floor room has a bridging beam with sunk-quadrant mouldings, double soffit fillets, and tongue stops, along with similar joists. The principal posts have basal roll moulding and incised carved capitals. The west wall features a 4-light hollow-moulded mullioned window and a rebuilt fireplace with a chamfered bressumer. There is an outshut to the west with a 20th-century staircase. The first floor has jowled principal posts with similar capitals as below, a clasped purlin roof with diminished principals, curved windbraces, and cambered collars. The northern part includes a spine beam on the ground floor, a chamfered bressumer over the fireplace, and a winder by the stack.
