Former Congregational Church Including Entrance Steps And Gates

The former Congregational Church, now a house, was founded in 1777, with the front range dating from 1847. It features painted scored render and a slate roof. The front range is designed in a Tudor style, comprising two storeys and four bays. The second bay slightly projects forward under a coped gable with a finial and includes a gabled porch accessed by a flight of stone steps. Above the porch, there is a three-light window with chamfered mullions, a transom, a hoodmould, and diagonal glazing. The other openings are cross windows of a similar design, except for the right-hand bay on the ground floor, which is blank. The outer porch doorway is made of sandstone and is Tudor-arched. A plaque above the doorway is dated '1777', and the coping features a ball finial. The gable above the porch bay is dated '1847'. The main gables are coped and have chimneys with paired octagonal shafts. The stone steps have parapets that end at the roadside with stone piers, which are connected by a wrought-iron overthrow with a lampholder and a pair of iron gates.
