Description
4 Church Street is a building that dates from around 1800 to 1820 and appears to have been constructed as a single development. Number 2 was likely built as a house, with a small shop added in the late 19th century. Numbers 3 and 4 were built around the same time, probably serving as a warehouse for the grocers' business located at 22 Broad Street. Today, the properties house two shops and a restaurant.
The exterior is made of brick and features a slate roof. Number 2 has four storeys and a single window range, with a late 19th-century shop front on the ground floor. Above this, there are 12-pane sash windows with steep cambered heads. The warehouse section also has four storeys and a four-window range, with paired openings on either side of a former loading bay, which is now a slightly recessed narrow bay with inserted windows. To the left, there is a small shop front added next to an original doorway that has a high overlight and a cambered brick head. To the right is a larger shop front that now serves as the restaurant. The original pattern of openings in the upper storeys remains largely intact, although the windows have been renewed. A deep dentilled eaves band runs across both properties.
This building is listed as part of a group of structures in the town center and is a representative example of a warehouse that was built to support commercial activities. This type of building was once common in Welshpool, and this example is prominently located and has maintained its functional design qualities despite changes in use.
