27 Church Street

27 Church Street is a house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It was divided into separate units by 1962 but returned to a single dwelling in 1992, with some alterations made in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

The house is built of painted and partly-rendered stone rubble, topped with a hipped slate roof and featuring a brick stack along the ridge. The single-storey additions at the rear are also made of painted and/or rendered stone rubble with slate roofs. The house has a double-depth, roughly square plan, with two small additions at the back.

The exterior consists of two storeys and attics. The elevation facing Church Lane is symmetrical, featuring a central round-headed entrance with a modern panel door that has glazed upper lights and a blind fanlight. This entrance is flanked by six-over-six timber sash windows. The two first-floor sash windows are three-over-six, and there is a rooflight. The sash window in the angled, single bay at the corner is of early 21st-century design and matches the existing windows on the Church Street elevation. The north elevation, which faces Folly Mill Lane, has two bays. The left bay contains a two-light casement window on both the ground and first floors, while the right bay features a former entrance with a modern panelled door (which lacks door furniture) and a blind semi-circular fanlight. There is also a late 20th-century ground-floor two-light casement with glazing bars, a similar first-floor window, and a skylight. The rear elevation is mostly obscured by the single-storey additions, which have late 20th-century and early 21st-century windows and doors.
