Description
The Church Room is a central building that was formerly a schoolroom, flanked by three attached two-storey houses on each side. It is constructed of grey stone with yellow brick dressings and features blue brick banding. The roofs are slate with decorative cresting and curvilinear bargeboards, and there are tall stone and brick chimneys.
The Church Room has a gable that projects forward from its hipped roof, featuring a window with two arched lights made of sash glazing and an oculus above. To the right of the doorway in the porch, there is an iron gate. Each side of the former schoolroom has a pair of houses with camber-headed doors that are set together. These houses also have camber-headed casement windows: two-light windows on the first floor that are positioned across the eaves, along with dormers, and three-light windows on the ground floor.
The outer houses on each end have taller half-hipped roofs and similar windows. The outermost bays are set back and have hipped roofs, each with a camber-headed doorway. The terrace generally features boarded doors, although No. 3 has a modern door, and No. 6 includes a 20th-century glazed porch.
