Description
23 China Street is an early to mid 19th century, three-storey, four-window building with a colourwashed brick front. Nos 22 and 23 are designed as reflected one-window pairs. The building features a slate roof with wide boarded eaves, a central brick chimney stack, and another chimney near the base of the front roof pitch of No 22. The windows are mostly nine and twelve-pane sash types, with voussoir lintels that are cambered to accommodate the ground floor windows, which do not have glazing bars.
To the right of the centre, there is a semicircular arched tunnel passage with a boarded door. No 22 has a six-panel door, while No 23 features a half-glazed door, both with cambered voussoirs. There is a modern three-light shop front with a half-glazed door at No 24.
The right gable end is made of red brick, while the left side is slate hung. The tunnel passage is whitewashed brick and has two later doorways in the middle and two original doorways at the rear, with the left doorway blocked up. This arrangement may indicate that the houses were originally built as back-to-back residences. The rear of the building is also slate hung.
