9 Well Street

Nos 7-9 Well Street form a group, with No 7 serving as a shop and No 9 divided into two parts, with an entrance to No 9A at the front and No 9 at the rear.

The building is a two-storey structure with a three-window range, rendered or roughcast over brick, topped with a slate roof featuring tile cresting. The chimney stacks are missing. It has a moulded wooden eaves cornice and rusticated quoins, although the right-hand quoins were removed in the 1970s. The windows are small-pane sash types, and there is a vehicular through-passage beneath the central window.

No 9 itself has one window and is roughcast. The entrance is to the left, featuring a moulded wooden doorcase with a triangular pediment on brackets (originally there were columns), which contains a 20th-century half-glazed panelled door under an overlight. The windows on both storeys have been renewed with small-pane tripartite horned sashes. In front of the ground floor window, there are low plain iron railings on a stone plinth, likely marking the position of a bayed shop window that was removed in the 1970s. The through-passage on the right side leads to a 20th-century half-glazed wooden door, which is the entrance to No 9.

At the rear, there is a long brick wing divided into two sections, with the northern section being lower. The western side and northern gable end are rendered. The higher bay on the right has mid to late 20th-century three-light windows on each storey, while the lower wing on the left features two large uPVC windows on the ground floor and a mid to late 20th-century window on the upper right. The gable end has a three-light 20th-century window above a small lean-to. To the southeast, adjacent to Crown House, the rear wing connects to a high narrow gabled bay, which is likely much older. The lower part of this wall is heavily battered, with a stone corbel to the left at first floor level and a 20th-century wooden window at the second floor level. A hipped section at right angles connects to the chimney stack of Crown House. The interior has not been seen.
