Description
Church House, originally built as a church school and teacher's house in 1845, is now a playschool. Designed by Scott and Moffatt in the Gothic Revival style, the building is constructed of brick and features gabled plain and patterned tile roofs. Notable architectural details include a chamfered plinth, diaper work, chamfered eaves, coped gables with kneelers, and terracotta finials and crosses, along with ashlar dressings.
The structure is irregular in an L-plan and consists of two storeys with four bays. It has a single ridge and a single external gable stack, which has shoulders and a relief patterned octagonal stalk. The windows are transomed lancets with hood moulds. The north front features an off-centre gabled wing with porches at each return angle. On the left, there are two buttresses and two lancets, while the right side has a gabled porch with a diagonal buttress and a four-centred arched door, above which is a shield inscribed 'AD 1845'.
The east side has two small lancets, followed by a quadruple lancet with a single lancet above it. Next is a porch with a four-centred arched door and a shield inscribed 'Church Schools' above, followed by a triple lancet. Above this section, there is a cross-eaves gabled dormer with double lancets. The west front includes a buttress flanked by single lancets and a crosslet in the porch on the left, while the right side has a single lancet.
The south side features an off-centre gabled wing, flanked on the left by a late 19th-century lean-to addition and on the right by two 20th-century flat-roofed additions. The left side has a 20th-century casement and door, while the right has a small gabled outbuilding with three 20th-century casements. Above, to the left, are two cross-eaves gabled dormers with single windows, and to the right, there is a single lancet.
