Description
Churchtown House is a vicarage, now a house in multiple occupation, dating to around 1740. It has undergone alterations and additions in the early and mid-19th century, and further changes in the 20th century. The building is constructed of granite rubble with slate roofs, the original section having a hipped roof and an end stack to the right. Some parts are rendered, with 19th-century brick dressings.
Originally the building was a single-depth plan, with a central entrance leading to a wide hall, a stair tower to the rear centre, and principal rooms on either side. In the mid to late 19th century, a two-storey wing was built to the front left, composed of two parallel ranges constructed at different dates, including service rooms and a secondary stair. The front elevation has two storeys and five windows, all four-pane sashes, with some 20th-century replacements. The window arrangement is symmetrical but offset to the right, featuring a central double entrance with a shallow gabled hood supported on wooden piers. The two-storey wing has a hipped roof with a straight joint between the parallel ranges. The inner side of the wing has a six-pane sash and a four-pane sash at ground floor, and two four-pane sashes at the first floor. The front of the wing has a six-pane sash at the first floor to the right, and a twelve-pane sash in a brick surround to the left. A single-storey addition, rebuilt in the 20th century with 20th-century windows, is attached to the front right. The left side of the house is rendered and has five bays with twelve-pane sashes; the ground floor features two doors and three sashes, with a six-pane light to the right of the central door. The two rooms to the left are heated by a brick ridge stack. The rear of the original house has a stair tower with a hipped roof, an eight-pane light at ground floor, a twelve-pane sash at the first floor landing, and a blocked window above replaced by a sixteen-pane sash within a raking dormer. A 20th-century single-storey extension with a flat roof is located on the left side. The rear of the 19th-century addition has three casements with brick segmental heads at ground floor, and two twelve-pane sashes at the first floor in brick surrounds. The inner side of the 19th-century addition has two 20th-century windows at ground and first floor.
Internally, the house has been extensively altered in the 20th century. The entrance hall retains an open-well stair with fine turned balusters and a ramped, moulded handrail. A room on the ground floor to the left has plain dado panelling, while the room to the front right has fielded dado panelling.
