209 AND 210, CHURCH STREET

Two houses, now combined, stand at the end of a row on Church Street. They were originally built in the late 17th century and altered in the 18th century. The timber framing has been reconstructed using rendered rubble stone, and the roof is double Roman tiled with a central brick stack. The houses were designed with a through passage plan leading to the rear of the stack.

The front has two storeys and five windows. An old two-panelled door is located to the left of the centre, with a three-light casement window to its left and a four-light and a single-light casement window to the right. There are five two-light casement windows on the first floor. The right-hand return has a 20th-century planked door set within a lean-to stone porch, along with a 16-pane sash window and a two-light casement window on the first floor. The rear features lean-to extensions with pantiled or concrete tiled roofs, and windows with two or three lights on the first floor.

Inside, there are chamfered beams with run-out stops. A Tudor-arched stone fireplace is accompanied by a plaster panel bearing the relief lettering "WS / 1697," believed to be the initials of William Stott. Exposed timber framing can be seen on the rear wall of the first floor. A chamfered pointed doorway was recently uncovered on the rear wall, lying between the main range and a lean-to extension.
