1, STATION ROAD (See details for further address information)

No 27 Fore Street and No 1 Station Road are houses with shopfronts located at a street corner in Chacewater, built in 1832. The buildings are constructed from elvan and killas rubble, featuring dressed quoins, jambstone, and shallow brick arches with projecting keystones. The roof is made of asbestos slate and slurried scantle slate, with wide eaves, a street corner hip, and brick chimneys over the gable ends to the west and north, as well as a brick axial chimney over the party wall.

This L-shaped group originally consisted of a two-room shop, a one-room house, a street corner shop, a one-room house, and narrow rooms at the rear. The structure is two storeys high, with a five-window front facing Fore Street and a four-window return front on Station Road. The south front features a house on the left that was originally a shop, now with a wide ground floor 20th-century window replacing the shop window. To the right is an entrance with a 20th-century door and overlight, with two 20th-century windows above. The second house has a 20th-century window on the left and a blocked entrance on the right, with original 12-pane hornless sashes above.

The original shop window on the right retains its 15 panes, flanked by wooden pilasters on plinths with consoles above, leading to the original fascia with a cornice that continues around to the east front. The east front features a similar shop window with a doorway to the left near the corner, which has double top-glazed doors with an overlight. To the right of the shop is a doorway with a 4-pane horned sash, and another doorway almost adjacent with a panelled door and overlight. The ground floor right-hand window and four first-floor windows are original hornless 12-pane sashes. The building also has cast-iron ogee gutters with cast-iron downpipes.

The interior was partially inspected, revealing an original open string winder stair with a curved mahogany handrail and running dog detail. Chacewater is notable for the preservation of many of its 19th-century shopfronts, and this building is an interesting example.
