Clergy House

The Clergy House comprises a pair of late Georgian town houses built in the 18th century. Constructed of red/brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, they have continuous hipped slate roofs with a leaded parapet to the front and two simple, broad chimneys. Each unit originally presented a two-bay facade, though number 40, on the left, has an additional bay to the far left containing a ground-floor passage that provides access to the rear. Matching doorcases frame the entrances, featuring slender Tuscan columns and dentilated cornices. These lead to panelled doors with rectangular fanlights above; the fanlight to number 38 is plain, while that to number 40 is divided into three panes. The passage entrance itself is arched with a six-panel door and a segmental fanlight above a rectangular pane of glass.

Above the main entrances are near-flush, twelve-pane horned sash windows with segmental heads. The second floor of both units, along with the far left first-floor bay of number 40, have nine-pane sashes, also with segmental heads. The first and second-floor windows in the left bay of number 38 are tripartite sash windows, with a central twelve-pane section flanked by outer four-pane sections, again under segmental heads. The windows in number 40's left bay have been replaced with a 20th-century canted bay with plain glazing.

Adjoining the rear of number 38 is a lower, two-storey service wing constructed of rubble stone, likely added in the mid-19th century. This wing has an entrance with a segmental brick archway and a boarded door within a frame; its upper-floor window is a four-pane sash with a similar segmental arch.

Inside number 38, a central plasterwork roundel is found on the ceiling of the front ground-floor room.
