9, Church Road

No. 9 Church Road is a house dating from the 17th century that has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with regular rectangular panels of old brick infill and an old tile roof, along with early 20th-century bargeboards. A large brick chimney stack from the 17th or 18th century is located to the left of the center, while a 20th-century chimney is found in the rebuilt right gable wall. The house is two storeys tall and has five bays.

The left bay contains a 17th-century three-light leaded casement window, and there is a similar two-light casement window on the first floor of the right bay. The other windows are early 20th-century leaded casements in painted wooden frames, featuring three, four, or five lights. The ground floor casements in the three central bays are set in shallow rectangular bay windows topped with lean-to tiled roofs. A lobby entry between the second and third bays includes a two-panelled door within an early 20th-century timber-framed gabled porch, which has a board dated 1536. There is also a sun fire insurance plaque on the exterior.

At the rear, there is a mid-18th-century triple gabled extension on the right-hand bays, constructed of chequer brick on the ground floor and red brick with blue diaper patterns above the first-floor band course. The rear features irregular old leaded casements with segmental heads and blocked attic windows, with doors leading to the center and left return wall. The remaining bays also have some old leaded casements.

Inside, the ground floor room to the left of the fireplace boasts good 18th-century panelling, while the room above has wide 18th-century floorboards and a stop-chamfered spine beam. A winder stair at the left end features shaped splat balusters leading to the landing, and the windows have various 17th- and 18th-century iron catches.

The property is incorrectly marked on the Ordnance Survey map as No. 2, Vicarage Lane.
