Description
Church House and The Highgate Society is a detached house with a later addition, dating from the early 18th century, with an extension added in 1848 (No.10A) on the south side. The building is constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings and stands three storeys tall with a semi-basement. It has a double-fronted design featuring five windows. The entrance is marked by a stone doorcase with Ionic columns, a pulvinated frieze, and a block bracketed pediment, with a panelled door accessed by steps. The windows have gauged red brick segmental arches and flush sashes with exposed boxing. There are plain brick bands at the first and second floor levels, and a brick cornice below the parapet.
No.10A is a single storey that rises to the third floor level of No.10, also made of brown brick with red brick dressings. It features a single large round-arched window with a gauged red brick head and impost bands that continue around the extension to meet the first-floor band of No.10. There is a plain brick band below the parapet.
The interior of No.10 has not been inspected, but it is noted to retain good panelling and an original staircase.
