Description

Temple House is a house that is believed to have origins dating back to the 15th century, incorporating parts of a 15th-century hall, but it is predominantly early to mid-19th century with some alterations and additions from the mid and late 20th century. The front of the house features regularly coursed sandstone, while the rear wings are finished in pebbledash. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and have coped gable parapets with moulded kneelers. There are brick ridge stacks with 17th-century diagonally-set square shafts. The building is arranged in a U-shape with wings at the rear. The cross-wing is two stories tall, while the main range has one story and an attic, and it features a three-window range.

The porch located at the angle of the house has a straight-headed doorway with a hood mould, a chamfered four-centred arch, and a studded and incised door. There is a two-light chamfered stone mullioned window, and to the right, there is a similar three-light window from the late 20th century. The half-dormers have chamfered mullioned cross windows and gables. On the right side, there is a broad shallow projection, possibly a former external stack, which has a coped top. The cross-wing features four-light moulded mullioned windows with cusped arched lights, a king mullion, and a hood mould. All windows throughout the house have glazing bars. The gable includes a cross in relief and a moulded finial. There is a two-story, one-window range set back on the right that is mainly from the 20th century and features three-light casements. The left return side is mostly from the 20th century as well. The stone mullioned windows on the right have three lights on the ground floor and two lights above. The 20th-century range has a gabled, slightly projecting center with a French window and three-light casements.

Inside, the entrance hall features a moulded stone fireplace, and there is a straight-flight staircase with column-on-vase balusters.
