Church House

Church House is a Grade II* listed building located in Cathedral Close, built on the site of the Cathedral Cloisters. The front of the building, which faces Deanery Place, is made of Heavitree stone and dates from the late 18th century. It features seven windows across three storeys and a basement, with a three-window centre that projects forward and a fluted cornice. Some of the glazing bars have been removed.

The back of the building, which faces the Cathedral, was originally a market or almshouses from the 17th century. This section is a two-storey plastered structure with a coved cornice, and four moulded posts that support the upper storey are still visible. The first floor has 18th-century sash windows with flush frames, while the ground floor, which used to be an open market, was filled in around 1840, featuring doors and windows from that period. The roof is covered with small grouted slates.

Currently, Church House is occupied by various offices related to the Cathedral, and the northern part serves as a Verger's house. All the listed buildings in Cathedral Close are part of a group value context.
