Description

Church House is a house dating from the 16th century, with 19th-century cladding. It features a timber frame, a plastered ground floor, and a tile-hung first floor. The roof is plain tiled and hipped, with a jettied hip to the right. There is a tall end stack to the left and a large brick stack on the rear right wing. The building has two storeys and an irregular arrangement of windows, with three on the first floor and two on the ground floor. The central entrance has a panelled door with two glazed top panels and a flat hood above. At the rear right, there is a two-storey wing added in the 19th century.
