Description
St John's Rectory, built in 1892, is a parsonage house likely designed by TM Lockwood at the expense of the first Duke of Westminster. The building features stone-dressed brick with blue diapering and has a double-depth red-brown tile roof.
The exterior consists of two storeys and two bays. On the left, a recessed wing has three stone steps leading to a door with two large panels and two smaller ones. The front showcases a square two-storey bay window with Ionic corner pilasters on each storey. The ground floor includes a three-light mullioned and transomed window with patterned leads for the upper lights, with the central light being round-arched. The west bay features two cross-windows with leaded upper lights. There is a moulded band at the first floor, with a four-light mullioned and transomed casement in the bay window and a three-light mullioned window to the right, all adorned with diapering. Above the bay window, a shaped gable has a string-course that rises above a two-light attic window, topped with coping, volutes, and a finial.
The right side facing Love Street has a projecting stone-dressed chimney, a moulded string, and a leaded cross-casement window on the first floor, along with diapering and two shaped gables. The rear features a diapered upper storey and a leaded cross-window for the stair. The left side has a pair of cross-windows on the first floor, diapering, and a shaped gable with three ball finials.
Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted to retain most original features. The property also includes a garden wall made of stone-banded brick with moulded coping that curves down to panels with wrought-iron railings between piers.
