Description

24 Church Street is a three-storey building with a cellar, featuring a roughcast exterior that has been colour washed. It has a plastered plinth and a gently pitched slate roof with plain eaves, supported by brick end stacks.

The front elevation is asymmetric, with two windows grouped towards the left. The second floor has blocked windows with stone sills, while the first floor has Victorian sash windows with plain reveals and stone sills. On the ground floor, there is a sixteen-pane horned sash window to the left and a cellar window below it. To the right, there is a later 19th-century shop front that extends from the center to the right end. This shop front has a hood with modilions on console brackets and plain pilasters. There are two recessed doorways leading up steps: a panelled door to the left and half-glazed double doors to the right, both with rounded heads. To the right of the doorways is a shallow five-light bar room window, also with rounded heads. The building has large vaulted brick cellars, and some ceiling beams show evidence of earlier origins or re-use.

At the rear, facing Church Place, there is a two-storey roughcast range with three windows. It has a slate roof, a tall brick stack to the right, and Victorian sash windows on the first floor, with a bipartite window to the right. The ground floor features later fenestration and a doorway.
