Nos 28-30 Church Street were built in the late C18 or early C19 by the Baron Hill estate and are shown as a pair on the 1829 town plan.
Belongs to a group of 28-30 Church Street.
A reflected pair of 2½-storey late Georgian houses pebble-dashed to the R (No 28), scraped to reveal rubble stone with flat stone arches to the L (No 30), slate roof with roughcast end stacks, pebble-dashed stack R of centre and brick stack L of centre. Entrances are offset to the outer sides, of which No 28 has a recessed panelled door with panelled reveals and tripartite overlight, and No 30 has a C19 replacement panelled door in a shallow gabled porch canopy with barge boards. Outer bays have tripartite small-pane sash windows in both storeys. The wider inner bays are gabled and have small-pane horned tripartite sash windows in the lower storey, 12-pane horned sash to a first-floor canted oriel window, and small round-headed sash window with radial glazing in the attic. Above the entrance to No 30 is a square stone tablet with low-relief Celtic cross. Between the 2 houses is a passage under a flat stone arch, above which is a large bullseye window with rock-faced dressings with radial glazing (externally belonging to No 30 but internally with interlocking plan). No 30 has a 2-light flat roof dormer to the L. No 28 has a larger 3-light flat roof dormer to the R.
The houses also have reflected rear 3-window elevations, with additions and alterations. No 28 is whitened rubble. It has a central stair window with 12-pane hornless sash. To its L is a 16-pane sash window and a lean-to against the garden wall on the L, first shown on the 1861 town plan, housing pantry and coal house, which is at the back of the kitchen and has 2 boarded doors and 2 casement windows. On the R side of the stair is an added hipped lean-to with 12-pane sash window. In the upper storey is a 16-pane sash window to the L, a 4-pane horizontal sliding sash window to the R of centre and, set back on the R, a 12-pane sash window. A central wide flat roof dormer has 4-light replacement window.
No 30 has a similar arrangement but with more alteration. The central stair window has been replaced by French doors to a lean-to conservatory, to the R of which are 16-pane and 12-pane hornless sash windows in lower and upper storey respectively. On the L side of the stair is a replacement half-glazed back door. Set back further L are 12-pane sash windows in each storey and a smaller 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window over the passage. The attic has 2 horizontal-sliding small-pane hornless sashes to flat roof dormers, and an added skylight. A 2-storey rear wing on the R side houses a kitchen in the lower storey. It has a panelled door to the L under a 4-pane overlight, and 20-pane hornless sash window to its R. The upper storey has a small-pane canted oriel window on corbels. Further R is a 1-storey projection, housing pantry and coal house, and a further projection behind with 2-light windows and boarded door in the end wall, all under a pent slate roof.
The interior is centrally planned with entrance hall leading to the main rooms R and L and stairs at the rear. The L-hand room has a panelled wainscot. The open-well stair has plain balusters.
Listed for its special architectural interest as a well-preserved Georgian house of definite quality and character in a prominent position opposite the parish church, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Church Street.
