Description
Church Steps is a timber-framed and plastered building located on Church Hill in Kersey. It features external characteristics from the 17th and 18th centuries but may have origins that date back even earlier. The roof is tiled, and the structure consists of two storeys for the main block, with an additional one storey and attics on the north side. The upper storey has a two-window range of horizontal sliding sashes, while the ground storey has casement windows.
