Heath House

Heath House is a house dating to 1837, built for Richard Church. It is constructed of stone rubble with red brick quoins and stone lintels, and has a slate roof with gabled ends and brick gable-end stacks. The building features a two-room front range, with an entrance and stairhall at the centre, and a kitchen wing to the rear of the left-hand room. In the 19th century, a two-storey outshut was added to the rear of the main range, and a large bay window was built on the front of the left-hand room. The south front is symmetrical and features 12-pane sash windows with red brick jambs and panelled stone lintels. The centre lintel of the second floor is inscribed “R.C.1837”. A central doorway has flush-panel double doors and a porch with Corinthian columns, pilasters, an entablature, and a balustrade above. A wing on the left (west) side has a plank door, wooden porch, and casement windows. The rear (north) gable-ended wing is to the right and there is a rendered two-storey outshut to the left, featuring casement windows and a lean-to slate roof. The interior retains much of the original joinery, including flush-panelled and reeded doors, panelled window shutters, and an open-well staircase with turned newels and stick balusters.
