Description
Churchman House is a former house, now used as offices, dating from around 1730 with 19th-century alterations and an addition. The building is constructed of red brick and features a pantile roof with an L-shaped plan. It has two storeys and a plinth, with seven bays; the central three bays project and are accentuated by rusticated quoins. The central entrance includes a door with a rectangular fanlight, flanked by attached Tuscan columns, and is topped by a frieze decorated with archery-related motifs and a pediment. There is a small 19th-century door at the far left. The building has sash windows throughout, each with rubbed brick flat arches. The central window on the first floor has a segmental top sash and an arch with a haunched rusticated surround. A modillion cornice runs along the top, and there is a pediment above the three central bays featuring a three-light lunette. The roof is hipped with two spans. Inside, there are fine details including wall paintings framed in elaborate plasterwork and a stucco ceiling with a central oval landscape. The fireplace is by T. Cheere.
