Description
Church House, including service wings, is a house built around 1785 to the early 19th century. It features painted brick with a cogged brick course beneath deep eaves and has a hipped slate roof. The house has part projecting eaves chimneys and integral gable end chimneys on the rear wings. The main block is rectangular with two parallel rear wings.
The exterior is three storeys high, with two-storey rear wings. The facade has three windows: 6/6 sashes on the upper floors, 8/8 sashes at ground level, and 3/3 sashes on the second floor. The sashes are adorned with fluted architraves, cornices, and stone sills. The central doorway features a 4-centred arch with a glazed door that has gothick-style glazing bars.
On the left side, there is a projecting two-storey semicircular bay topped with a conical slate roof. It has a 6/6 sash window above glazed doors with sidelights, similar to the front but with additional pendant serrated cornice boards. To the left, there is one 8/8 sash window on the ground floor.
At the rear, there is a 6/6 sash and a 3/3 sash on the second floor. The ground floor features a pair of 3-light glazed doors with a top light, fluted architraves, and a pendant panelled cornice board. The centre has a flat-roofed first-floor outshut with a 6/6 sash window, which is now partially open at ground level with a glazed door similar to the front door. The south service wing partially masks the remainder of the rear elevation.
On the right side, there is a 6/6 sash window on the first floor in a brick segmental-arched opening and a 3/3 sash on the second floor, with the ground floor obscured by a 20th-century flat-roofed extension.
Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase, and the interiors retain many original features. The south service wing, dating from the 18th century, still shows former carriageway arches despite 20th-century window changes, and features 17th-century joists and a bridging beam. The north service wing has an 18th-century core and was altered in the 19th century, with a three-window range facing northwest that includes a 3/6 sash on the left with a doorcase beneath an open pediment canopy supported by brackets.
