9a, Church Row

This is a three-storey, attic, and basement terraced house, likely built around 1728 by R Hughes and later refronted in the late 18th century in a Georgian style. The exterior is of yellow stock brick with red brick dressings, topped by a tiled mansard roof with dormers. The doorcase has a flat hood supported by carved console brackets and pilasters, a radial fanlight, and a panelled door. It features flush-framed sash windows with recessed boxes, and moulded brick bands at floor levels. A parapet tops the facade.

The interior retains an angled plan, creating wider rooms towards the rear of the property. It has two rooms on each floor, arranged around a broad staircase hall located behind the front entrance. The entrance hall and staircase hall are fully panelled, with box cornices, ovolo mouldings, and dados. The staircase is notable for its two different styles: the lower flight has a turned baluster open string with moulded tread-ends, while the upper flight has a closed string and turned balusters. The ground floor rooms are also fully panelled, with box cornices and dados; the rear room features an 18th-century corner fireplace. The first-floor rooms have similar panelling, with a later 18th-century fireplace and a single fluted pilaster. The second floor has unmoulded panelling and a flat dado, with a corner cupboard in the front room and a corner fireplace in the rear. The third floor includes matchboard partitions and an 18th-century fireplace with a late 19th-century grate.

The house is a well-preserved example of an early 18th-century property, and it contributes significantly to the group of early 18th-century houses that characterise Church Row.
