Church House

Church House is a house dating from the 15th century, which was remodeled in the early 17th century and has had later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame, partly of cruck construction, with plaster infill and painted brick cladding, topped with plain tile roofs. The building has a cruciform plan, consisting of a two-bay former hall to the north, with cross-wings projecting to either side on the south. To the south of this is a lower range from the late 16th or early 17th century, which is likely also timber framed.

The house is two storeys high and has a dentilled eaves cornice on the east side of the hall. The framing is exposed on the west gable of the cross-wing, showing square panels and straight tension braces, with V-struts from the collar. There are two late 19th-century casements below the eaves of the hall range on the east side, and a segmental-headed casement in the center on the ground floor, divided in two by a brick pillar. The cross-wing to the east has one late 19th-century casement on each floor, with the ground floor window having a segmental head. The entrance is located in the angle between the hall and the cross-wing, featuring a 20th-century half-glazed door. A ridge stack sits immediately above, rebuilt in mid-20th-century red brick, with late 19th-century red brick end stacks on the gables of both the hall and the east cross-wing.

Inside, there is one true cruck truss in the center of the hall range, partly visible on the ground floor, which has an Alcock apex type L2. The hall contains an inglenook fireplace below the ridge stack and has chamfered spine beams throughout, featuring stepped and run-out stops. There is a dressed sandstone walled cellar below the lower range to the south, which may date from the 15th or 16th century and retains deep revealed openings at ground level.
