Cemetery House, including stable in yard

Cemetery House is a Gothic style lodge of 1½ storeys, built in snecked rock-faced sandstone with lighter freestone dressings. The roof is banded slate with overhanging eaves, bracketed cornices, and barge boards to the gables. Two rendered brick stacks rise from the south side, while the north gable end has a combined brick and stone stack.

The asymmetrical double-fronted east entrance faces Fairoak Road, though it is partly concealed behind the heightened perimeter wall of the cemetery. A central boarded door sits beneath a pointed overlight and hood mould with foliage stops. Above the doorway is a raked 2-light dormer. To the left of the doorway is an advanced gabled bay containing a canted bay window with a hipped stone slab roof. The window has mullions with shafts and foliage capitals, a cornice with foliage stops, and 2-pane sash windows. The gable is half hipped. In the attic is a 2-light window with cusped-headed lights incorporating casements, a central shafted mullion, and a sill with foliage stops, all beneath a pointed relieving arch with a small trefoil.

To the right of the doorway is a 2-light canted bay window, battered below the sill, with a 2-pane sash window beneath a hipped slate roof. The 2-light attic window has cusped-headed lights incorporating 2-pane sashes, below a relieving arch with a small pointed trefoil and beneath a gablet.

The south side wall faces the cemetery entrance and features an L-shaped lean-to porch comprising an arcade of cusped arches (now glazed but originally open) on a dwarf wall, with a cusped wooden arch to the left. Inside the porch is a pointed window facing the entrance, and to its right a boarded storm door with strap hinges. The door to the house is panelled. On the right side of the porch is a cusped lancet window, while a small trefoil attic window sits upper left above the porch.

On the left of the porch is the gable end of a projecting rear wing, fitted with barge boards and eaves brackets similar to the front. A canted bay window, battered below sill level with a hipped slab roof, sits over a cornice with foliage stops. The central 2-pane sash window is beneath a shouldered lintel, while the side lights have cusped heads. A 2-light attic window with cusped-headed lights and a relieving arch matches those of the east front. Set back on the left side is a rear outshut, its south wall containing a 4-pane sash window in a dressed surround and relieving arch. An inserted window is present in the rear wall, with a rear porch on its north side.

The rear wall of the main range, to the left of the rear wing, has a single-storey lean-to with a casement window in a dressed surround. On the right side of this is a shallow projection with a roof concealed behind a parapet, featuring a cusped light in its north wall and a dressed surround to a casement window in the lower storey facing the rear. The north gable end of the rear wing has a large 4-pane sash window in the lower storey and a 2-light window with cusped heads in the upper storey, both with relieving arches matching those of the front. The north gable end of the main range has 2 attic sashes.

Adjacent to the house on the north side is a stable, built in snecked rock-faced stone with lighter freestone dressings and a slate roof with overhanging eaves. A yellow brick ridge stack sits left of centre. Facing the yard to the south are central full-height double doors with strap hinges, beneath a gablet incorporating an overlight. On the left side is a doorway with double diagonal-boarded doors and strap hinges. On the right side is a 2-light mullioned window. The left (west) gable end has 2 openings with shouldered lintels and a pointed quatrefoil at the apex.
