Description
Church House is a building dating from 1889, designed by John Douglas. It serves as parish rooms and a caretaker's house. The structure is made of English garden wall bond brick with sandstone dressings and has a clay tile roof. It is T-shaped, consisting of two storeys with a lower two-storey wing at the rear that forms the house.
The parish rooms are four bays long, with the first bay projecting as the head of the T, and a 20th-century lean-to on the left. Each bay features a three-light double-chamfered mullion and transom window on the ground floor. There are two weathered buttresses, a decorative lozenge band in brick and painted plaster, and a dormer window between the second and third bays. The first bay also has a first-floor window, similar to those below, along with a gable that includes lozenge panels, carved bargeboards, and finials.
The two-bay house section has a moulded stone door surround with a dated lintel, and features one, three, and four-light mullion windows, a buttress, and a first-floor lozenge band matching that of the parish rooms. The rear of the building includes dormer windows and impressive chimney stacks.
