Description
Church House is a house dating from around 1600, which underwent significant restoration in the later 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings and features fishscale-banded plain tile roofs. The house has a west end stack and stands 2½ storeys high, with a two-gabled front that includes a central projecting two-storey ashlar gabled porch. The porch has a coped gable and a ball finial, along with hollow-moulded recessed mullion windows—one three-light window with a hood mould on the first floor front and blank two-light windows on each side. A drip course runs above the flush moulded doorway.
The main part of the house has entirely 19th-century fenestration, featuring three-light ovolo-moulded windows with hood moulds and relieving arches on the main floors, and three-light chamfered windows with hood moulds in the attic. On the right side, there is a date plaque reading P W / I V M V / 1614. A west end extension has a brick gable end. The parallel rear range, which has end stacks, appears mostly to be from the 19th century but is a remodelling of an earlier building. It features three sharp gables and generally has 19th-century mullion windows, including a two-storey ashlar bay window, while an 18-pane stair-light is likely from the 18th century. To the right of the main front, there is a single-storey range with stone slates, half-hipped to the west, which has a 20th-century door with a hood on brackets and renewed timber-mullion windows.
