4 And 5, Charles Street

4 and 5 Charles Street are a pair of attached houses built in the early 18th century. They are constructed of brick with limestone dressings, featuring a tall brick party wall stack and a hipped roof covered with pantiles. The houses have a double-depth plan and are designed in the early Georgian style, each standing three storeys high with a basement and a two-window range.

The exterior includes moulded coping and possibly originally had pilasters. The ground floor is raised on a projecting basement, with steps leading up to the outer doorways. These doorways are topped with deep timber canopies supported by horizontal brackets, and feature a segmental head with a three-pane overlight above a six-panel door, the top of which is glazed. The windows are set within segmental arches that have five stepped voussoirs and contain 6/6-pane sashes in flush frames. There are also two lead-clad hipped dormers, and the basement front wall is made of brick with two low doorways.

Inside No. 4, the entrance hall is divided by a semicircular arch and has a fully-panelled internal wall. The front room features a bolection-moulded fireplace and window seats. A central lateral dogleg winder stair has column balusters and newels, along with a ramped toadback rail. The interior also includes two panel shutters and four-panel doors.

Historically, this building was the home of Charles Wesley from 1749 to 1771.
