Description

Holy Rood House is a presbytery built around 1890 for Holy Emmanuel Church, designed by J F Bentley. The building features a front made of flint and roughcast, is two stories high, and has a plain tile roof with two truncated brick stacks and a stone band. It has deep eaves and a three-window range. The first floor is roughcast, showcasing two splayed oriel windows that rise to the eaves, along with one triple window that is flush with the wall. The ground floor is flint-faced, with a stone string course above it. The entrance features a moulded Gothic arched doorway with a deeply set door.

To the south, there is a three-light stone mullioned window with a flat moulded head. To the north, there are two small-paned wooden sash windows that are flush with the wall; the inner window is a longer three-light window, while the outer one is a four-light window. The south gable end is faced with flint and stone, while the north gable is tile-hung with swept out eaves. The west side has a projecting wing with paired gables, also tile-hung with swept out eaves, and features two groups of triple windows with small-paned sashes in the rendered wall below.
