Description

No. 23 Church Street is a house in a row, set back from the street. It dates from the early to mid 19th century and features a rendered exterior with a slate roof. This symmetrical villa has a hipped roof and a verandah, situated behind a railed front garden. The house is two storeys high with two windows. The ground floor has canted bows with 20th-century casements flanking a six-panel door, which has glazed top panels and a simple radial fanlight below, all set in deep reveals. On the first floor, there are two plate glass sash windows. The box eaves are notable, and the continuous glazed verandah rises to a solid cheek on the right, supported by two slender iron columns. Although the house has lost its original windows, it, along with the wall and railings, is important to the character of the street.
