Description
St Matthew's Clergy House is a clergy house built around 1905, featuring red brick and a tiled roof. It showcases a restrained Arts and Crafts style with domestic Gothic elements. The building has a two-storey central section flanked by three-storey gabled wings and a three-storey east return. The front is asymmetrical with five windows, while the east return has an irregular arrangement of seven windows. The centre features a large three-centred arched portal with moulded jambs and a "Flamboyant" canopied niche above. Grouped lancet lights are located under relieving arches on both fronts. The house has a stone weathered plinth and stone-coped gables, along with simple yet well-detailed Arts and Crafts finishes and ironwork on the casements.
