Rectory, now house and flats. 1818 by G.S. Repton for James Haughton Langston of Sarsden House (q.v.) for the use of his brother-in-law, Reverend Charles Barter, rector of Churchill-cum-Sarsden. Englarged and given second floor in 1834; minor later additions and alterations. Limestone ashlar; low pitched hipped slate roofs with deep eaves. House a basic U-plan (including service ranges) with L-shaped stable block to rear on left and further L-shaped range of outbuildings behind that. 3 storeys with floor band between first and second floors. 3-bay main range with projecting bay to right. Glazing bar sashes, 9-paned to left and centre bays and 6-paned to right on first floor of main range, all 6-paned to second floor. Projecting bay has 6-paned glazing bar sash to second floor; slight projection to ground and first floors has three 8-paned sashes grouped together in ovolo-moulded wood surround to ground floor and three 6-paned sashes grouped together to first floor. Loggia in angle to left and continued to left return, supported on wood posts with thin curved brackets, has canted bay window with five 8-paned glazing bar sashes below to left and 12-paned glazing bar sash below to right. Loggia roof projects above canted bay window and supports balcony with iron railings approached through left and centre windows on first floor. Left return in 3 bays with glazing bar sashes to first and second floors including 'dummies' to upper right and centre on both floors. Tall glazing bar sash to right under loggia and also to left, latter with panelled extension to bottom forming French window. Right return has external lateral stack to left with top rebuilt in later C19 yellow brick. Flat-roofed porch to right with moulded entablature and round-headed outer arch with projecting keystone has inner 4-panel double door with vertical side-lights and elegant wreathed and radiating fanlight. Contemporary hip-roofed service ranges attached to rear of returns. Single-storey hip-roofed stable block with coach house to north range and similar L-shaped range of outbuildings attached to rear of that, both grouped around small courtyards. Interior. Right ground-floor room (dining room) has plaster cornice comprising repeating corded motif with leaf decoration wrapped round.
