1-9, Church Street

This is a terrace of nine adjoining houses built in the late 19th century. The houses are constructed of red brick with decorative polychromatic banding and detailing, and have slate roofs with crested ridge tiles. The roofs are gabled at the ends and to the front and rear; the roof of number 3 has been replaced with asbestos slates. There are axial stacks with brick shafts, and front lateral stacks on the left and right, which are corbelled out at first floor level. The design is in a Gothic style.

The layout includes nine houses, with entrances to numbers 1 and 9 from porches on the sides of the terrace. Number 5, in the centre, is slightly larger than the other houses. The terrace is well-preserved, with all doors and windows intact. It is a nine-bay range, generally symmetrical but with some asymmetrical detailing. There are two large gables to the front, on the left and right, and the central bay (number 5) is half-hipped to the front, with gabled dormers between. The terrace has deep eaves and verges.

The front doors are planked with cranked heads and glazed fanlights, and the windows are timber, with 1, 2, and 3 lights, and glazing bars. Brick porches are located on the sides of the range at numbers 2 and 9. The rear elevation is gabled to the rear on the left and right.

The interior has not been inspected, but may retain features of interest. It is a remarkably intact Gothic terrace with noteworthy brickwork detail, situated opposite the front of the parish church and forming group value with the 1888 Gothic brick almshouses located to the east of the church.
