Description
St James' Church Hall is a mid-19th century building that also serves as a house. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain tile roof with fish-scale tile bands and stone coped verges, along with a brick ridge stack. The building is designed in the Gothic style and has one and two storeys, with a window arrangement of 1:2:1 across the front.
The gabled wings on the left and right sides include the church hall on the left, which has a large pointed window with three trefoil-headed lights. The right wing features a ground floor two-light mullioned window and a first floor pointed window with two trefoil-headed lights. The first floor between the wings is recessed and has two gables; the smaller right gable contains a single-light window with a trefoiled head, while the left gable has a three-light chamfer mullioned window.
The ground storey projects forward beneath a lean-to roof, making its front wall flush with the wings. It includes a pair of cambered arch doors flanking a central two-light chamfer mullioned window, with a lancet window immediately to the left of the right door. The south front is one storey high, featuring a 1:1:1 bay arrangement with a central gabled break that has a pointed window with three trefoil-headed lights, and flanking casements with segmental heads. There is a 20th-century two-bay extension to the left.
