Church House

Church House is a public house that was originally built around 1810 for William Carr by the architects Fleming and Hird. The building features an ashlar sandstone facade, with coursed and squared sandstone on the other sides, and a graduated Welsh slate roof. It has a deep plan with a wing at the rear left and stands two storeys high with a symmetrical three-bay front and a three-storey wing.

The structure includes a plinth and a rusticated ground floor. The central bay is recessed and accessed by three stone steps leading to an open stone porch, which is supported by two part-fluted Doric columns set in antis and features a mutule cornice. The porch has part-glazed doors beneath a segmental arch. The outer bays project forward and each has a plain ashlar, two-storey canted bay window with three unequal 15-pane sashes, although the upper sash frames of the left bay have been altered.

There is a band at the cornice level of the porch and a sill band at the first floor. All windows are sashes with glazing bars, and the central window is set behind a low balustrade. The building has a continuous cornice with dentils and a blocking course, topped by a hipped roof with lead flashings. There is a ridge stack on the left and an end stack on the right. Additionally, there is a Doric stone porch on the left return.
