Gussage House

Gussage House is a rectory that has been converted into a private house, dating from the late 17th century with alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It was built for Colonel Joshua Churchill and features a brick construction with some mathematical tiles. The building has a hipped, tiled roof with a brick stack located to the left of the center. It displays stucco quoins, a moulded wooden cornice, and a first-floor plat band, creating a symmetrical appearance. The house is two storeys high with attics and has four bays. It features 12-pane sash windows beneath flat, gauged brick arches, and the central bay likely originally contained a doorway. There are French doors on the south wall and three hipped dormers with wrought-iron casements and leaded lights. The panelled doorway has a moulded architrave and a transom light in the re-entrant angle.

Inside, notable features include an original oak staircase with square newel posts, restored ball finials, turned pendants, moulded close strings, turned balusters, and moulded handrails. The landing has round-headed archways with panelled pilasters, moulded archivolts, and pulvinated entablatures.
