Church House

Church House is a terraced house featuring three bays and three storeys. It has a steep slate gabled roof with narrow 20th-century bracketed eaves and no chimneys, although stainless steel flues are now present at both ends. The facade is lined with painted stucco and includes thin raised angle strips and a low stone plinth. The windows consist of square 6-pane hornless sashes with marginal glazing on the second floor, long 6-pane sashes on the first floor, and 12-pane hornless sashes on the ground floor.

Access to the house is via two wide stone steps leading up to a central early 19th-century recessed moulded panelled door. This door features four fielded panels on the upper section and two flush panels below, topped by a good traceried fanlight set in a similar panelled reveal. The door surround is a 20th-century replacement for a columned portico designed in an 18th-century style, complete with an open pediment on console brackets and fluted pilasters. The right-hand return features plain stucco above No. 17, with an M-shaped roof at the gable end, while the left-hand return above No. 1 Broad Street has plain stucco and a raised chimney breast.

At the rear, there is a large wing with a truncated external chimney. Inside, there is a flush-panelled 6-panel inner door with an oval glazed light and a radiating-bar fanlight. The inner hall has an elliptical arch. The room to the left contains an earlier 19th-century fireplace with a reeded moulded surround and square corner blocks, along with a reeded ceiling border and panelled shutters. The room to the right was not inspected. At the rear left, a staircase with wide shallow treads and scrolled tread-ends runs parallel to the front wall; the balusters of the first two flights have been replaced in the 20th century. The upper floors were not available for inspection, but the scrolled end of a stair rail is visible on the first-floor landing. The reveals of the first-floor windows are panelled, and the ground floor doors have been replaced in the 20th century.
