24, Church Street

The house at 24 Church Street, Easton on the Hill, dates to 1688, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and ironstone, with a Collyweston slate roof. Originally a two-unit building, it now has an irregular L-shape. The front gable facing Church Street has a single-window range of two- and three-light stone mullion windows with ovolo moulding; the first-floor window has leaded lights. An ashlar gable parapet sits above the first-floor window, featuring a datestone with a diamond panel and cornice. A 20th-century door and window are located on the left-hand elevation, under a concrete lintel. Two gabled eaves dormers, with leaded casements, are visible in the attic. A brick and stone stack is located at the end of the building. The elevation to the right of the front gable features a 20th-century lateral brick stack and an adjacent dormer. A 19th-century single-storey extension is located to the left and incorporates a 19th-century style casement window. The rear elevation includes an outbuilding projecting at right angles, which is now integrated into the house. Inside, the entrance hall features an open fireplace with a bressumer, an 18th-century plaster cornice to one wall, and a central roundel. A room to the right of the entrance hall has a late 17th/early 18th-century fireplace surround. The house was occupied by Francis Mitchell, a slater, in 1820.
