Description
A pair of houses with cottages at the rear, likely originating in the 17th century or earlier, with the Allhalland Street frontage rebuilt in the mid-18th century. The front is painted brick in a Flemish bond pattern, while the rest of the building incorporates solid rendered walls and stone rubble. The roofs are slate-covered, and there are two rebuilt red-brick chimneys on the left gable wall and one older red-brick chimney on the right gable wall.
The properties at 6, 6A and 7 Allhalland Street occupy the street frontage and feature a 19th-century rear wing to the left. Number 1 Chapel Street is a two-room early or mid-17th century rear range originally extending into part of Number 2. The remaining section of Number 2 incorporates a one-room cottage fronting Union Street, possibly a former detached rear block of 6 Allhalland Street.
The building presents a two-story, three-window front. The front features two late 19th-century shop fronts, the one at Number 6 having slender columns supporting shallow segmental arches and entablatures with consoles supporting the cornice. Above, each house has a Venetian window with plain stone surrounds, bracketed sills, and keystones to the round central arches. Number 6 has 20th-century wood casements, while Number 7 retains small-paned sashes with thick glazing-bars, likely original, featuring 8 over 8 panes with radial window-head bars in the center light and 4 over 4 panes in the outer lights. A blind segmental-headed window with a keystone sits between the Venetian windows. The facade is flanked by horizontally-channelled pilaster strips, and a boxed eaves cornice tops the building. Number 6 has 2 and 4-paned sashes facing Union Street, and 2-paned sashes in the rear wall of the 19th-century addition. Number 1 Chapel Street has 6 and 8-paned sashes on the ground floor and a later sash window with margin panes. Smaller wood casements are present on the upper floors of both Number 1 and Number 2. Number 2 has a 19th-century door with four flush panels, and a wide window facing the courtyard, now largely blocked.
The ground-floor room at the rear of Number 6 has an 18th-century box cornice. Inside Number 1 Chapel Street, a chamfered ceiling beam with scroll-stops is found in the left-hand ground-floor room. The owner reports a large carved granite chimneypiece concealed in the rear wall. A stud-and-panel screen, with chamfered studs and scroll-stops, separates the two ground-floor rooms. The right-hand room contains an 18th-century door with two raised-and-fielded panels. The ceiling beam of this room projects into Number 2 Chapel Street. The rear section of Number 2 includes a roof truss with a halved collar and roughly-shaped inset ends.
