house

Terraced two-bay three-storey house, c.1750. Refenestrated, c.1850. Part refenestrated, pre-1999. One of a terrace of four. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Unpainted rendered walls with cut-stone stringcourses to each floor. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills (forming sill courses to upper floors). Replacement 2/2 timber sash windows, c.1850, with replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999, to first floor. Round-headed door opening with fluted timber Doric doorcase having open-bed pediment over, timber panelled reveals, timber panelled door, and spoked fanlight. Interior with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Road fronted with flagged footpath to front.

A well-composed substantial house, built as one of a terrace of four houses (with 22821139 - 40, 42/WD-31-21-139 – 40, 42), which retains most of its original form and early fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior. However, the gradual replacement of the fittings to the window openings with inappropriate modern articles threatens the historic character of the site. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms an appealing feature of formal appearance in the streetscape of Church Street.
