27 Church Street

House; late C18 or early C19. It was sub-divided by 1962 and reverted to a single dwelling in 1992. Late-C20 and early-C21 alterations.

MATERIALS: it is constructed of painted and partly-rendered stone rubble under a hipped slate roof with a brick stack below the ridge. The single-storey additions to the rear are also painted and/or rendered stone rubble with slate roofs.

PLAN: the house is double-depth, and has a roughly-square plan, with two small additions to the rear.

EXTERIOR: the building has two storeys and attics. Its Church Lane elevation is symmetrical, with a central round-headed entrance containing a modern panel door with glazed upper lights and a blind fanlight, flanked by six/six timber sash windows. The two first-floor sash windows are three/six, and there is a rooflight. The sash window in the angled, single bay to the corner are of early-C21 date and match the existing windows of the Church Street elevation. The north elevation facing Folly Mill Lane is of two bays. The left-hand bay has a two-light casement on both the ground and first floors, while the other bay has a former entrance with a modern panelled door (lacking door furniture) and a blind semi-circular fanlight; a late-C20 ground-floor two-light casement with glazing bars; a similar first-floor window and a skylight. The rear elevation is largely masked by the single-storey additions which have late-C20/early-C21 windows and doors.
