Description
Gartocharn Church is an earlier 20th-century Gothic Arts and Crafts hall church. The front elevation features stugged, squared, and snecked red sandstone, while the side elevations are cement-rendered. The church has cusped-headed leaded windows and a stepped pedimented gable, with projecting eaves and exposed rafters.
On the south entrance elevation, there is a stepped gabled bay at the center framed by buttresses. It has a boarded two-leaf door at the ground level, which is deeply chamfered, with small lights flanking it and a stepped hoodmould acting as a string course. Above this door is a large three-light window with a three-centre arch and cusped heads, along with a louvred pointed arch window in the gablehead. The hall body of the church has flanking blank bays and buttresses with projecting eaves.
The west elevations are cement-rendered with red sandstone. There is a wide sandstone buttress to the outer right and a small leaded window at the center. To the left is a four-bay nave with cusp-headed windows, and an advanced gabled transept to the outer left features a three-light window.
The east elevation mirrors the west elevation and includes a vestry. The church has multi-paned leaded windows, a grey slate roof with lead flashings, and ashlar coping to the skews.
Surrounding the church is a low rubble boundary wall with boulder coping, along with pink sandstone gatepiers topped with depressed pyramidal caps.
