Description
Church House is a detached cottage, likely dating from the late Medieval period, with alterations made in the 17th century and again in 1938. It is constructed of dressed limestone and features a hipped thatched roof. The building has a two-storey, two-window south front, with two 2-light recessed hollow-chamfered mullioned casements. The first floor includes two single-light hollow-chamfered casements, all of which have diamond leading. There is a buttress to the right with offsets.
To the right side of the building, there is a Tudor-arched chamfered doorway, which is now located below a 1938 external stone staircase leading to an inserted first-floor planked door and a single leaded casement. The left side has a 2-light leaded casement on the ground floor and a 1930s mullioned casement on the first floor. The rear of the building, which faces the road, is windowless and features side buttresses with offsets that are separated from the main wall by straight joints, indicating evidence of a rebuild, possibly of a timber-framed structure.
The interior was not accessible during the survey in August 1986, but it is reported to have chamfered beams on the ground floor and a 3-bay roof with tie-beam and collar trusses.
