23 Church Street

This is a mid-18th century house situated at the end of a row in Church Street, Tewkesbury. It is constructed of Flemish bond brickwork, with a tile roof and a brick stack. The house is two storeys and has a basement, featuring a four-window front. The windows are 12-pane sashes set within brick voussoirs, each with a modelled keystone, a cornice, deep stone sills, and a grille at basement level. A six-panel fielded door sits to the right, accessed via three stone steps and topped by a fanlight with interlaced bars within a moulded architrave with keys, set under an open pediment on consoles. Above the first-floor windows are four blank recesses with brick dentil heads, rising into a coped parapet that forms a blind storey above the roofline. The right return wall, overlooking the courtyard to Avonbrook House, is a rebuilt wall with buttresses. A projecting wing at the rear has two-light casements with segmental heads. The interior has not been inspected.
