12, Church Street

No. 12 Church Street is a house that dates from the 1860s, with rear wings that have origins in the 17th or 18th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork, a tiled roof, and brick stacks. The front block is identical to the adjoining No. 11, suggesting they were built or rebuilt together. The house has three storeys and a basement, with a two-windowed façade. The windows are plate-glass sashes set under brick voussoirs, which have a central fluted key with a cornice and stone cills. On the ground floor, the sashes are framed in moulded architraves with segmental heads and a continuous cill band, along with an additional band at the height of the door. To the left, there is a panelled door beneath a plain fanlight, set in a V-joint band that runs around an arch. The basement has a grille, and a 20th-century shop fascia obscures a plain band above the first floor. The building features a full-height V-joint pilaster band to the left, and a door leads to a throughway. The rear of the main block has a wide rendered gable with 12-pane sashes on the first and second floors. Attached to this is a lower painted brick wing with twin narrow hipped tile roofs, and beyond it is a longer, low half-hipped brick building. The interiors have not been inspected.
