Description

26 and 28 Church Street are two houses, one of which has a shop front, dating from the early 19th century. They are constructed with rendered masonry and have a bitumen-grouted rag slate roof on No. 28 (to the right) and an asbestos slate roof on No. 26. Both houses feature rendered end stacks and a lateral stack at the rear left of the center. The buildings have deep plans that include service wings extending at right angles to the rear.

They are two storeys high and have a four-window range. No. 28 retains original 16-pane hornless sash windows on the first floor, while No. 26 has 20th-century sashes above late 19th-century four-pane horned sashes. No. 26 also features a central original wooden doorcase with incised pilasters and a simple moulded entablature, along with a panelled door. No. 28 boasts a complete mid-19th-century double shop front with a moulded fascia supported by pilasters, flanking 20-pane shop windows and a four-panel door. There is another doorway with a four-panel door to the left of the shop front, likely in the original window position. The interior has not been inspected.
