12, Church Road

No. 12 Church Road is a town house, likely a former merchant's house, built in the mid to late 18th century. The building features polychrome rubble walls, with flat brick arches on the first floor and segmental brick arches on the ground floor. It has a slate roof adorned with a modillion eaves cornice and a rendered stack on the left side. The house has a shallow-depth plan with an opening to one side of the central ground-floor room. It stands three storeys tall and has a two-window range. The windows are possibly original hornless sashes with glazing bars, except for a pair of horned copies in the wider central ground-floor window. There are doorways on the left and right, both featuring overlights and panelled doors. Notably, there is a 19th-century pulley wheel at first-floor window-head height on the right, which may have been used for hoisting or could be a later decorative reused feature. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
