47, Churchgate Street

No. 47 Churchgate Street is a house and shop dating from the early 19th century, with some remnants of an older structure. It is timber-framed and covered in painted roughcast render, topped with a plaintiled roof. The building has two storeys and attics.

On the first storey, there is one sash window featuring a single vertical glazing bar set in a flush moulded cased frame. The ground storey has an early 20th-century shop front, with a window divided by vertical bars into three lights and a glazed door with a rectangular fanlight to one side. The doorcase is adorned with plain pilasters and a fascia with a cornice. To the far right, there is an early 19th-century doorway, also with plain pilasters and a cornice, which features a slightly recessed six-panelled door, two of the panels being glazed.

Inside, alterations to the layout suggest an older core, but no earlier features are visible except for part of one large chamfered main beam. This building is part of a significant group in Churchgate Street and is included for its group value.
