Description
The Church House is a timber-framed house dating to circa 1600. It has four gables adorned with carved bargeboards, and includes a cellar and attics. The building is two storeys high, with the first and second floors projecting slightly, supported by moulded bressumers and shaped brackets. There are three-light attic casements, and on the first floor, three original windows with transoms, moulded frames, and mullions. One of these windows forms a semi-octagonal projection topped with a gable and pendants, all now attached to modern brackets above the ground floor doorway. The entrance passage on the right has moulded side posts. The house is L-shaped, with a timber-framed wing at the rear. The east side of the building is timber-framed with wide panels filled with brick. Inside, the north-east room contains a partial ceiling decorated with lozenge-shaped plaques featuring designs of birds and elephants, among other devices. The adjacent room to the west is lined with original panelling. The building forms part of a group with Ivy Cottage, Mavollry, The Old Tannery, Cottage occupied by Mrs Williams, Abbots Lodge and is described further in the Regional Council for Historic Monuments, Volume II, page 112.
