House and shop

A pair of asymmetrical 2½-storey shops with houses built in late Georgian style, arranged at 13-15 Church Street. The front elevation is rendered with pebble-dash painted light brown, with white smooth-rendered surrounds, a slate roof, and end roughcast stacks.

Number 13, positioned to the left, features a four-window front. An advanced bay on the left side is decorated with rusticated pilasters and topped with a hipped roof. The shop front below has faceted pilasters, a thin fascia and cornice, a plate-glass window, a narrow hopper window above, and a half-glazed door to its left beneath a boarded-over overlight. The upper storey contains a hornless 16-pane sash window. The entrance to the house is set back on the right, consisting of a fielded-panel door beneath a radial-glazed overlight.

Number 15 has a single combined entrance to the shop and house on the left side, with double panelled doors (lower panels fielded) and an overlight. To the right stands a 3-light shop window with a narrow light above a transom, panelled pilasters, fascia with end panels, and moulded cornice. The upper storey contains a 12-pane hornless sash window positioned over the entrance, with two replacement small-pane top-hung casement windows to its right. The attic features three gabled dormers with small 2-light windows, the left-hand one positioned within the advanced bay.

Number 15 has a 2½-storey rear wing with a lower 2-storey wing attached, which has modern windows in its gable end. Both wings are rendered. Number 13 likewise has a whitened-render 2½-storey rear wing with end roughcast stacks and replacement windows, offset to its right by a further 2-storey wing of later date, which retains a 4-pane sash window in its upper storey but is otherwise fitted with modern detailing.

Internally, the ground floor forms a single room but was formerly divided into two rooms, each with a timber lintel to the fireplace. A straight stair with plain balusters and newels ascends to the first floor. The front room in the upper storey contains two stop-chamfered cross beams. A dog-leg stair leads to the attic. The rear wing houses an 18th-century truss with a dovetailed collar beam.
