Description
St. Michaels, Nupend House, and Lychgate Cottage is a former rectory, now divided into three houses, built around 1845 for Reverend Attwood. The building features coursed, squared stone with ashlar dressings and a fishscale tiled roof. It has a three-window front, is 2 and a half storeys tall, and is two rooms deep, with an irregular plan that includes a two-window, two-storey wing on the right.
The entrance front displays two gables of different projections with a slight recess between them and a plain plinth. On the left side, there is a three-light mullion and transom window with a hoodmould and square stops. A single-storey porch projects slightly on the right, featuring a boarded door accessed by two stone steps, a Tudor-arch with leaf decoration in the spandrels, a hoodmould with circular stops, and a parapet gable that contains a datestone.
To the right, there is a single-storey rectangular bay with paired two-light mullion and transom windows and a crenellated parapet. The right wing has two two-light mullion and transom windows. On the first floor, there is a three-light mullion and transom window with a hoodmould and circular stops in the left and right gables, along with a two-light mullion window set back above the porch. The front gables each have a two-light mullioned window and a slit above, with parapet gables featuring cross-gablet apexes.
The chimney on the left ridge has four diamond-set flues with moulded caps, while three square-set flues on a single base are located on the right return of the higher section. There is also a parapet gable with a similar chimney at the right end of the lower wing.
