2. 2 buildings adjoining, the East one of early C18 and the West one of early C19. The street front has been unified, probably at the time of building the later part. Street front 2 storeys and attic, 5 windows. Tall mansard roof of Westmorland slate with 5 flat dormers, sash windows with glazing bars. Yellow stock brick with stone cornice and stone-coped brick parapet. Stone balustrades inserted before dormer windows. Gauged, flat brick arches to 1st floor windows. One original and 2 replaced sashes with glazing bars, one modern casement and one bricked up. On ground floor a projecting conservatory at left and a late C19 square bay at right, with one early C19 sash window with glazing bars between it and central door. Replaced door, with cornice head and fanlight, under prostyle wood porch up 4 stone steps. Fluted columns, with paterae in necking, support entablature with wrought iron balcony over. From behind the separate houses may be seen. On left, the early C18 house of 2 storeys and attic under pediment-like gable with lunette. Central round arched window below it. Multicoloured stock brick with red brick dressings. 3 windows, renewed sashes with glazing bars in old flush frames. Heavy, bracketed cornice hood to door. On right the early C19 house of 2 storeys and attic, one window. Yellow brick. 3-light windows, that on ground floor segment headed, under gauged brick arches. Inside, the older house has an early C18 staircase with cut and carved string, 2 turned balusters, with square knops, to a tread and ramped handrail. Also an original fireplace surround, a flat, wide, shouldered marble slab with moulded borders. The new house has a large ground floor room with enriched plaster cornice and a carved marble fireplace surround with inner ironwork complete. Around garden to North of Presbytery are C16 or C17 brick walls, mostly restored in upper courses, but on outer North face showing traces of original sloped coping. These may have been part of garden walls to Eltham House (1664). Another stretch of wall about 6 yards East of the East garden wall, and running roughly parallel, marks the East boundary of the Church's land. In the North wall a curious rustic arch, set with shells, broken brick flint and aggregate, C20.
