Description

The Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in 1868. It features limestone ashlar and steeply-pitched Welsh slate roofs, designed in the Tudor revival style. The building has a double-depth square plan with a central staircase, and it stands two storeys tall with three bays across the front and two bays deep.

The entrance front includes a single bay and two slightly projecting bays, one of which has a cross-gabled design on the right. The structure has a chamfered plinth and a central door that is topped with a 2-pane overlight and a datestone beneath a stepped hoodmould. The windows are ovolo-moulded and consist of mullioned-and-transomed designs. On the ground floor, there is a six-light window in the left bay, also under a hoodmould. The cross-gabled bay features a two-storey canted bay window with a three-light window above it. A string course separates the two storeys, and the gable parapets are adorned with chamfered stone copings and kneelers topped with ball finials. The building has two ridge stacks with chamfered banding and one cross-axial stack. The left return is gabled, while the right return has two bays with mullioned-and-transomed windows containing four and six lights.

Inside, there is a four-flight dogleg staircase with two stick balusters per tread. There are detached ancillary buildings at the rear, but these are not of special interest.
