Church Hill House

Church Hill House is a house dating from around 1500, with alterations made in the late 16th century and the 20th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The main part of the house consists of three bays facing approximately southeast, featuring a late 16th-century external stack at the left end. There is also a rear wing of three bays extending from the left end, which includes a late 16th-century axial stack in the middle bay, creating an obtuse-angled L-plan. A lean-to is situated behind the main range.

The house is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century bow window, a six-panel door, and double garage doors, all sheltered under a tiled hipped canopy. The first floor has three 20th-century casement windows. The left end of the roof is hipped, and the external stack has one diagonal shaft that has been rebuilt. The structure features jowled posts and close studding with curved braces that are trenched to the outside. The front range has a jetty that was underbuilt at an early date, along with a large wood-burning hearth.

Internally, the partition between the left and middle bays has been removed, and the right bay has been lined for use as a garage. There are chamfered arched braces supporting a cambered tiebeam, and the crownpost roof has no access. An unglazed window with two diamond mullions is located in the rear lean-to. The rear range originally extended further northwest but is now truncated at an open truss. There is a shutter groove for an unglazed window on the left side, and the right wallplate features an edge-halved and bridled scarf joint. A large wood-burning hearth faces the rear, with a 20th-century hearth back-to-back with it, likely on the site of an earlier timber-framed chimney. Evidence of a former bread oven is found to the left of the stack. In the rear bay, there is a chamfered axial beam and plain joists of horizontal section jointed to it with unrefined soffit tenons. In the front bay, axial and transverse beams and joists of horizontal section are all moulded with lamb's tongue stops. The crownpost roof has axial braces, and the structure originally terminated on each side of the chimney bay. There is no smoke-blackening in the roof.
