Description
Church House and Church Cottage are two buildings dated 1754 internally, though they likely have earlier origins due to their key location. They were extensively refurbished in the second quarter of the 19th century. The main structure is two stories high with three windows facing the Bull Inn, and it features a double-pile storeyed rear. The western range is probably contemporary with the front block and originally formed an L-plan house at the corner. This range was later extended northwards to include Church Cottage, which faces the church road.
The buildings are constructed of whitened rubble with modern slate roofs and plain rendered end chimneys on all ranges, featuring weathercoursing. The entrance to the main block is on the left, with a multi-pane modern glazed door. To the right, there are 12-pane near-flush 19th-century sash windows, and three 16-pane sashes are located on the first floor under the eaves. The eastern range at the rear has similar first-floor windows, along with French windows and a small modern canted window on the ground floor. The western side, facing the church road, has ground-floor windows at and below the current road level, which slopes upwards to the north. There are two further canted and leaded modern windows to the right and a plain modern window to the left, with a 12-pane 19th-century sash window on the first floor. Church Cottage has modern glazed doors leading to the upper entrance on the left, with a small 8-pane sliding sash window to the right.
At the rear, there is a small yard between the eastern range, which terminates in front of the western range, and a 19th-century gabled projecting range at the rear of Church Cottage. Beneath this range, at basement level, is an oat kiln with a drying floor above.
The interiors are largely modern, although the primary western range at the rear features a roughly-beamed ceiling in its ground floor room, which includes a former inglenook fireplace that has been broken through. A curved bressummer inscribed with the date 1754 and indecipherable initials is present. The oat kiln has perforated brick arches in its bays, with slate joists supporting the drying floor, and some perforated ceramic tiles remain.
