Description
Church House is a 16th-century town house, possibly originally associated with a church. It is constructed of rendered rubble with original granite dressings, and has a steep slate roof. A truncated stack with an external breast is located on the front right. The building has a single-depth plan with rear extensions.
The two-storey, two-window front features 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash windows, with the exception of a later 19th-century two-light casement window with large diamond panes on the ground floor right. Above this window, a window is contained within a raking dormer under heightened eaves. The original 16th-century doorway has a 4-centred arched moulded granite surround with square sunk spandrels and a hoodmould. It has a flush-panelled door, likely dating to the 18th or early 19th centuries. A 16th-century hoodmould with shorter labels is positioned above a window to the left of the doorway.
The interior was reported to be of considerable interest and unaltered at the time of survey, but was inaccessible.
