Description
Rectory Cottage, originally built around 1825 as stables and a coachhouse for Rev. Edward Stanley, has been partially converted into a house and features 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of washed Flemish bond red brick and has a Kerridge stone-slate roof, with a stone ridge and two brick chimneys. It has a long rectangular plan and is two stories high with a six-bay front. On the left side, there is an elliptical headed opening that leads to the stables. The front also includes two large inserted garage doors and three small-pane iron casements with two lights each. The right two bays have been converted into a cottage, which features a two-light and a three-light wooden casement with glazing bars, along with a now-glazed circular pitch hole above a timber porch. The building is listed for its group value only.
