7 Church Street

These are a pair of late Georgian town houses, situated within a group at 7-9 Church Street. The front elevations are finished with roughcast rendering, while the rear is of rubble stone. The roofs are graded slate, featuring swept eaves on a moulded cornice, and a central shared chimney stack. The houses are tall and narrow, arranged over three storeys and with two windows each. Each house has a doorway positioned on the right side, recessed within a round arch supported by slender colonettes, and retains a moulded architrave feature at No. 9. The doorways are fitted with fielded panel doors, each topped with a radial-glazed fanlight. The ground floor windows are small-pane sashes; No. 7 has 16 panes, while No. 9’s sash window has panes laid on their side. No. 9 also retains a small-pane basement sash window. The middle floor features tall, two-light casement windows set within architraves, with a sill band below, and the upper floor has nine-pane sashes, also with a sill band. The rear elevations include a tall stairwell window on the left side, and sash windows on the right side set beneath brick arches. The original plan form has been retained; a narrow entrance hall contains a panelled door leading to the stairwell. The open-well staircase has a turned newel at the base and plain balusters.
