Description

Church House is a mid-19th century house with plastered walls and a gable-ended slate roof. It features two brick end stacks and has a double depth plan with three main front rooms, an entrance hall between the center and left-hand rooms, and smaller rooms in an integral two-storey outshut at the rear. The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front, showcasing original 16-pane sash windows. To the left of the center, there is a contemporary moulded six-panel door beneath a concreted door hood, supported by original granite columns at the front. The interior has not been inspected.
