Description
All Saints House, formerly a church, was built in 1854-1856 and designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, with execution by R.M. Phipson. The building is constructed of rubble flint with ashlar dressings and has a plain tile roof. It comprises a nave, divided into two storeys, and a chancel, which has been retained as a single-storey drawing room, all under a continuous roof.
The north front, facing the road, features a nave doorway positioned slightly right of centre, with a richly moulded ashlar surround. Flanking this doorway are lancet windows with chamfered surrounds. A 20th-century lean-to porch with a catslide roof sits above the doorway. The chancel on this side has a pointed window with a richly moulded surround on the right and a priest's door with a moulded surround on the left. A two-light window is located at the far left, featuring two trefoil-headed lights and a cinquefoil at the apex, with a hood mould having floral label stops. Diagonal buttresses with offsets are set into either angle of the front, and decorative ridge tiles are present at the roof apex. The east end has a central three-light window with trefoil heads and a circular surround at the apex containing a group of four daggers. The west end features a two-light central window with a trefoil head and a 20th-century gable. A two-storey wing projects to the right.
Inside, the chancel retains its original steps, the richly moulded sedilia, the vestry door and its hood mould with a figurehead label stop, and the pulpit, which is also richly carved and accessed by a staircase from the vestry.
