Description

25 and 27 Church Street are two adjoining houses dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. They have a rough render finish, likely over timber framing, and feature a tiled roof. The main wing and cross wing are three windows wide and two rooms deep, standing two storeys tall.

The street front displays three gables. On the left side, there is a door accessed by one stone step, featuring six fielded panels. To the right of the door, there is a two-light casement window with an iron opening light, situated above a lintel that leads to a cellar opening. Set back further is a canted bay with single-pane sash windows and a two-panel door, which is raised by a single stone step and has an upper half that is glazed with marginal lights, flanked by pilasters. There is a square-headed low cellar opening in the plinth on the left side, and to the right, a tripartite single-pane sash window.

Above the cross-wing gable on the left, there is a jetty with a slated roof, which forms a lean-to cantilevered roof that creates a continuous porch across the front. In the gable, there is a two-light casement window with an iron opening light and leaded lights. On the right, there is a three-light similar window above the bay, which features a three-light canted oriel with a flat top and a bracket below the sill, positioned over a tripartite window. The gable of the cross-wing has a wide verge and fretwork bargeboards, with brackets supporting the ends of the wall plates. The main block has two similar gables but without brackets.

Brick chimneys are located at the junction of the cross and main wings, as well as opposite the front door. The left return has a painted-brick ground floor with a three-light wooden casement window, while the first floor reveals exposed timber framing without a centre rail, and rough render on the panels. A down-brace from the main post is visible in the second bay, alongside a two-light casement window. The roof is hipped at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
