Description
Church House, which includes No. 1 St Peter's Terrace, is a house that has been converted into a shop, offices, and a residence. It dates from the early to mid-18th century and is constructed of red brick, with No. 1 St Peter's Terrace rendered. The building features a slated roof that is hipped at the west end, and there is a rendered chimney stack on the rear slope of the roof of the northern range. It has an L-shaped plan and stands three storeys tall.
The Church Lane facade has four windows, while the St Peter's Terrace side has three. The windows and doorways are topped with slightly curved, gauged brick arches that have painted keystones. The windows are set in recessed box-frames containing 6-pane sashes, which are all 20th-century replicas with horns, except for the two right-hand, third-storey windows on the St Peter's Terrace side and the ground-storey window in the third bay from the right on Church Lane. The second window from the right on both the second and third storeys facing Church Lane is blind.
At No. 1 St Peter's Terrace, the ground-storey window is slightly offset to the right to accommodate an original doorway, which now has a late 20th-century door. The left-hand ground-storey window on the St Peter's Terrace front has been replaced in the 20th century with a canted bay window featuring 20th-century replica barred sashes. There is also a 20th-century inserted window on the corner with a concrete lintel.
On the Church Lane front, there is a doorway in the second bay from the right on the ground storey. The left-hand bay features a carriage arch with plain imposts and a segmental head that has a painted keystone; this now contains a late 19th or early 20th-century shop window with a wooden canopy above and a patterned iron grille below. Both fronts have a modillioned eaves cornice. The interior has not been inspected.
The building is situated on an important site at the edge of the churchyard, close to the Chapel of St Anne and the Church of St Peter.
