Tabernacle House

Tabernacle House is a large detached house dating from around 1770. It was originally built as a summer residence for Rowland Hill, and adjoins his former Chapel (now rebuilt). The front facade is constructed of fine brick, with returns and the rear wall of rubble, roughly rendered. The roof is hipped with an internal valley, covered in stone slate. The house extends to two storeys plus dormers.

The front facade has three windows, featuring large Venetian windows with brick voussoirs and arches; the central window is arched and incorporates sashes with glazing bars and uncusped tracery. A panelled front door is surmounted by a square fanlight with semi-circular tracery, sheltered by a hood on brackets. The house has stone rusticated quoins and a stone string course. The cornice is ornamented with modillions. Original small dormers are present, two retaining their original leaded glazing. The flank walls contain large three-light sashes with glazing bars.
