Description
6 Church Street is a well-preserved building from the 18th century, originally associated with John and Mary Briscoe, as indicated by a tablet inscribed with their names and the year 1742. The building has been raised in height since its original construction.
The exterior features a brick façade topped with a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall, with a seven-window arrangement on the first floor and four windows on the upper floor. The ground floor shop fronts are restorations or replicas from the mid to late 19th century, each featuring a doorway on the left and a window divided vertically into four panes with a single central transom. Slender pilasters support a continuous fascia. There is also a single earlier window between the shop fronts and an inserted double doorway to the right. Traces of the original string course can be seen above the central window. The first floor has 12-pane flush-framed sash windows with cambered brick heads, while the upper floor contains 9-pane sashes with timber lintels beneath a moulded eaves cornice.
Inside, the upper storey retains reused roof timbers from the original two-storeyed building of 1742. This building is part of a group of commercial and domestic properties on Church Street.
