Church House

Church House is a detached house located on Church Road in Bibury. It is dated 1802, although the rear section likely dates from the 17th or early 18th century, with early and late 20th-century additions. The building features a front made of coursed and squared limestone, with coursed rubble on the sides and rear, and has ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof.

The house is two stories high with an attic and has a double pile plan. The front has a three-window arrangement, with outer tripartite sash windows and round relieving arches over the ground floor windows. The central upper floor has a bipartite sash window, and there is a datestone from 1802 above the entrance. The central doorway is topped with a flat timber porch hood and features a six-panel fielded door with a rectangular fanlight above. There are three hipped roof dormers mounted on the eaves.

On the south end, there are 12-pane sash windows on each floor of the gable end of the front range. The upper floor has a tripartite sash window, while the rear wing below features two 20th-century mullioned and transomed casements under a combined hoodmould. The rear side shows the gable end of the rear wing on the left, which has a three-light recessed cavetto mullioned upper floor casement with a hoodmould, and an attic casement with a timber lintel. The right side has mixed fenestration, mostly consisting of 19th and 20th-century restored mullioned casements, along with two eaves-mounted attic dormers with hipped roofs. The inferior part of the building is largely from the 19th century.
