Description

Church House is a house built in the late 18th century. It features dressed red sandstone rubble on a chamfered plinth, with V-jointed quoins on the left side. The roof is made of graduated greenslate and has a coped gable with a kneeler on the left. There are ashlar chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and two bays. The entrance includes a six-panel top-glazed door set in a quoined surround with a keyed entablature. To the right, there is a carriage arch that goes through the house. The windows are two-pane sash windows framed in painted stone architraves. The outbuildings at the rear are not of interest.
