9, Church Street

No. 9 Church Street is a house that has been converted into offices, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed from Ham Hill stone ashlar and features a slate roof with stepped stone coping. The building has a double-depth plan with two rear extensions and stands two storeys tall with an attic, presenting a symmetrical five-window facade. The gable coping extends along the parapet, and the moulded cornice returns to the sides while stepping forward over banded pilasters. A small gabled roof dormer contains a two-light casement window. The windows are modern horned plate-glass sashes set within moulded architraves, with a Venetian-style window above the door flanked by Tuscan pilasters. The entrance features an eight-panel door with raised-and-fielded panels and a brass knocker, set back in a Tuscan-style doorcase with a pediment. Above the door is a heraldic panel displaying the motto "Keep Faith." The first-floor rear windows are six-over-six pane sashes, and a lean-to extension connects two mid-19th century gabled extensions, one of which has large eight-over-eight pane sashes, with a window and door featuring moulded architraves on the gable end.

Inside, the building has a central stair-hall with an open-string, open-well staircase, showcasing turned oak balusters, a wreathed rail, and a curtail step. A round-arched stair-window features late 19th-century coloured glass margin-panes. The first floor has been altered but retains a fine early 18th-century fire-surround on the left, with egg-and-dart moulding on the lintel and jambs, and a mid-19th century cast-iron register grate. The recess beneath the Venetian window has raised-and-fielded panelling. The room on the right includes a stone fire-surround with a moulded mantle-shelf and a wall cupboard with four raised-and-fielded panels and H hinges. One of the doors is a six-panel design with small panels in the center. This building is part of a group of three early 18th-century town houses located on Church Street.
