Church Farmhouse And Gatehouse

Church Farmhouse and Gatehouse is a former coaching inn, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. The main part of the building is two storeys high, constructed of coursed and squared rubble stone, and has a Cotswold stone roof with three ashlar ridge chimneys and coped verges. It features a symmetrical arrangement of windows, with a 3:1 configuration, and the right-hand section projects as a two-and-a-half storey gabled break. The windows are sash windows with vertical glazing bars set within raised flat surrounds. The roughly central doorway is topped by a bracketed label hood and has a six-panel door, the top two panels cut away and glazed. To the left is a lower, projecting wing which formerly served as a coach house and stable. This wing has a hipped roof to the left and includes an elliptical-headed entry with double doors on the right, alongside a modern doorway and window to the left. A half dormered loft door is roughly central, and a short, lower extension is set to the left.
