Church House

Church House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with some parts refaced and extended in the mid to late 19th century. It features a timber frame on a brick plinth with painted brick nogging. The front has been refaced in rendered brick and extended in brick at the rear, both painted to imitate timber framing. The house has slate roofs and a T-plan layout.

The lobby-entry hall consists of one framed bay, with a gabled cross wing to the right, and one long and one short bay also to the right. A 19th-century addition at the rear forms an L-plan. The building is one storey with an attic and has a central brick ridge stack. To the left, there is a flat-roofed dormer with a three-light wooden casement, while the ground floor features a 19th-century segmental-headed three-light wooden casement to the left and a full-height hipped square bay to the cross wing with four-light wooden casements. There is a central 19th-century lean-to porch at the angle of the cross wing, which has a pair of half-glazed doors.

The left-hand gable end displays a tie-beam truss with queen struts, and the right-hand return front has a small gabled dormer. The two-storey 19th-century rear wing has a dentil brick eaves cornice, a central brick ridge stack, and a one-storey lean-to at the back.

Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room features a deep-chamfered beam running from front to back with large ogee stops, along with chamfered joists also having ogee stops. It has a large open fireplace with a deep-chamfered wooden lintel. The right-hand ground-floor room contains an ovolo-moulded spine beam supported by a carved wooden bracket at the right end. An oak dog-leg winder stair at the rear of the cross wing has turned balusters leading to the first-floor landing, and the floors are made of old oak boards with chamfered purlins.
