Description
The Rectory is a house, now serving as a rectory, built around 1820 and altered since. It features red brick in Flemish bond, scored stucco on the west side and rear, sandstone dressings, and a slate roof. The building has a double-depth, double-fronted plan with two storeys over a cellar, and it is symmetrical with three bays. The stone plinth, first-floor sill-band, plain frieze, and moulded cornice with a blocking course enhance its appearance.
The central doorway, which is accessed by two steps with nosings, is framed by a doorcase with engaged Tuscan columns, abaci, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice with a blocking course. The door itself is panelled and topped by an elliptical fanlight. The windows feature raised sills and wedge lintels, and all are now top-hung casements that imitate sash windows. There are also two cellar windows in the plinth, which are protected by gratings. The roof has coped gables but currently lacks chimneys. At the left end, there is a screen wall with a service door and an inserted garage doorway. The rear of the building includes a two-storey canted bay. The interior has not been inspected.
