Description
Fernleigh House is an 18th-century building located on Church Street. It is a two-storey structure with basements, constructed from English bond brick sitting on a projecting plinth with stone capping. The roof is covered with stone tiles and features a boxed eaves gutter supported by cast iron brackets.
The façade has three windows on the first floor, each with stone flat arches, key blocks, and stone cills, all fitted with glazing bar sashes. The ground floor has two similar windows alongside a central six-panel door, which has glazed upper panels. This door is framed by a moulded stone architrave, topped with a moulded cornice and pediment resting on cut stone brackets with a broken bed mould. There are also two square basement windows. The entrance is accessed by six steps with plain guard rails, leading to a modern dwarf stone wall with contemporary wrought iron rails.
Inside, there are timber lintels above the windows in the west gable and in the gable-lit attic. A long timber lintel beam spans the ground floor to the west of a rear extension, which has modern upper storeys.
Fernleigh House is part of a group of buildings that includes the former Sunday School, the former "Institute" to the east, The Tabernacle United Reformed Church, and related structures, along with Nos 24 to 26 (consecutive) and 2 and 3 Tabernacle Cottages.
