Building record 2882/0/12 - Church Cottage & Church Gate Cottage & Attached Outbuilding

A 17th century house that was converted into two dwellings in 1845 is located on the Northern side of the High Street. The house is constructed of squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and a double pitch Collyweston slate roof with ashlar gable and ridge chimney stacks and a gable parapet on the left. The house is single story with an attic range lit by three gabled dormer windows. The street facade has a four window range with a two story, five light canted bay window with stone mullions to the left under a large eaves gabled dormer with bargeboards to the apex. There is a sundial fixed to the gable with an inscription which reads "I ray for no man". To the right of the bay window are a door under a shallow arch, a casement under a keystone and two sash windows flanking a door on the right. An attached outbuilding to the rear was probably built during the 18th century.
