Description
Church House is a house built in the late 18th century or early 19th century, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with limestone dressings and features a pantiled roof with raised coped verges. The building has a U-shaped plan and is two storeys high with three windows on the front. There are two-storey wings on each side, and all windows are 16-pane sashes. The central entrance has a six-panelled and fielded door, flanked by Ionic fluted pilasters, with a 20th-century frieze above. The wings have sash windows on their inner sides at both the ground and first floors, all featuring keystones and voussoirs. The wings have gable ends facing the front, with a parapet and coping on the main front. The left side of the building has three sashes at the first floor, while the right side has a sash window at the ground floor left in the wing. The gable end of the main range has a nine-pane light at the first floor left, and there is an attached single-storey block with a hipped roof behind a curtain wall. The rear and interior of the building were not inspected.
