27, Churchgate Street

27 Churchgate Street is a house that has been converted into offices. It has a core dating from the 17th century, with modernizations around 1690 and again in the early 18th century. The building is timber-framed and features a brick front with two shades of red, while the sides and rear are roughcast-rendered. It has a plaintiled roof that is hipped on the north side, topped with a wide moulded and dentilled wooden eaves cornice.

The exterior consists of two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. There are four windows, all of which are 12-pane sashes set in moulded cased frames with slightly projecting timber sills. These windows are positioned within vertical panels of light-coloured red brick and have gauged heads. However, straight joints in the brickwork below the sills indicate that they are replacements set higher than the original windows. The panels between the windows are made of dark red brick laid in header bond. There is one segmental-headed dormer, covered in lead, which contains a 6-pane sash window. The entrance door is recessed and off-centre, accessed by three stone steps. It features six raised fielded panels, with the centre panels being smaller than the others, and is surrounded by a moulded architrave with panelled reveals.

Inside, the cellar, now used as a small conference room, has three rendered walls. The west wall is made of rubble stone and includes three niches with arched heads of Abbey stone at floor level, designed in a cusped and moulded 14th-century style. These niches have been reset, and the mouldings do not align. Early 18th-century features are present in the interior, including dados and window shutters with raised fielded panels in the two ground floor rooms, as well as panels above and below the windows, which have window-seats. A fine dog-leg staircase leads to the first storey, featuring vase-on-reel balusters, square newel-posts, moulded handrails, closed strings, and a panelled dado, although the treads have been renewed. One upper room showcases a moulded plaster cornice.
