Rock House

Rock House is a house built in the 1750s, now used as an office, with a rear section that served as a Catholic church from 1931 to 1965. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped tile roof with brick stacks. It has a double-depth plan and a single-storey rear wing. The house stands three storeys tall and has a symmetrical five-window facade. The central part of the building projects forward and is flanked by pilasters. It has a plinth, a first-floor sill band, and a cornice at the top. The basement lights are segmental-headed, while the ground and first-floor windows have rubbed brick flat arches and keystones, with 15-pane sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes on the upper floors. The central entrance features a Gibbs surround, a pediment, and a six-panel door. The right side of the building has a brick cornice and a lateral stack on a high plinth, while the rear gabled wing also has a stack. The single-storey section includes sashed windows and an end lean-to porch. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to have 20th-century alterations.
