Description
The Rectory, built in 1886 by W.S. Hicks, is a Grade II listed building located in Acomb St John Lee. It is constructed of snecked stone with tooled-and-margined ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The south elevation features two storeys and five bays, with a first-floor sill band. The central entrance consists of a fielded-panel door with a three-pane overlight, set in a raised moulded surround that is stepped above the lintel, topped with a tall swan-neck pediment. The building has 8-pane sash windows in raised stone surrounds, with the lower windows featuring keyed lintels. Moulded stone brackets support the eaves, and the gables are coped with moulded kneelers. The ridge and right end stacks are banded and corniced. The left side of the building displays a canted bay window with an 8-pane sash above, while a second gabled bay set back to the left features a tripartite sash and an 8-pane sash window above.
Inside, the Rectory has five-panel doors set in moulded doorcases with entablatures and panelled shutters. The closed-string staircase features a moulded swept handrail and broad turned newels.
