Description
Church House Barn is a 17th-century, two-storey building with a cellar, featuring two windows. It has a taller, early 19th-century, two-storey brick extension on the left. The older section is box-framed with square panels that are brick nogged, and some daubed panels can still be seen at the rear. The front is pebbledashed, and the building has raised eaves. There are later brick stacks at the right end and a lateral stack at the rear. The 19th-century part is constructed of English garden wall bond brick, also pebbledashed at the front, with a brick stack. The roofs are gently pitched with slate, deep eaves, and bargeboards, while the gable ends of the 19th-century section are slate hung.
The older part has three-light casement wood windows with iron opening lights and lead cames, set flush without sills. There is a modern window on the ground floor to the left. A large closed gabled porch features a scolloped bargeboard and a finial. The 19th-century section has a six-panel door and 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, with a shallow upper sash above a 15-pane ground floor sash window. The reveals are plain, with stone sills, and there are stone steps leading to the doorway on the right, which has a six-panel door and a blocked rectangular fanlight.
To the left of the house is a two-bay barn, which is timber framed and weather boarded, and is believed to be contemporary with the 17th-century house. At the time of inspection, both the house and barn were derelict. Inside the older part, there is a good stop-chamfered axial ceiling beam and a cobbled floor in the cellar below. The 19th-century part features round-arched alcoves flanking the fireplace.
