30 And 31, Chapel Street

30 and 31 Chapel Street are a pair of houses built between 1775 and 1825, with No. 30 reportedly undergoing significant rebuilding in the 1980s. They are constructed from local grey limestone rubble and topped with an asbestos slate roof that has gabled ends. The houses feature a stack with a rendered shaft and four tall cream-coloured chimney pots from the 19th century.

The layout consists of a double-depth range, with each house being one room wide. No. 30 includes an unheated rear wing and has an axial stack positioned on the party wall. It is built against No. 29, with the wall-plate of the tenter loft slightly projecting into the roof space.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front that has regular fenestration, mostly consisting of matching late 19th-century four-pane horned sash windows. No. 31, on the left, features a depressed segmental-headed doorway with a 20th-century timber panelled door and a blind fanlight with spoke glazing bars. There are ground and first-floor windows to the right of this doorway. No. 30 has a 20th-century internal porch to the right, which includes a timber door and a four-pane fixed window beside it. It also has a two-light timber casement with glazing bars above the porch, along with two ground-floor windows and one first-floor window to the left.

The interior of No. 30 was inspected and is described as plain, featuring 20th-century joinery, one cast-iron grate and chimney-piece from around the 1860s upstairs, and a pegged collar rafter roof with halved collars, an X-apex, and possibly a secondary ridge slightly off to one side, with trenched purlins. There may be additional features of interest in No. 30. This listing is included for its group value.
