Rectory House

Rectory House is a farmhouse, originally built in the 18th century and later converted into a rectory, now used as a private house. Significant additions were made in the early 19th century, with minor alterations occurring in the late 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick with stone and gauged brick dressings, and has slate roofs. The roof to the early 19th century section is hipped with wide overhanging eaves and brick ridge stacks, while the 18th century section has a brick gable and ridge stacks, plus a dentilled eaves band. The building is three storeys high and arranged in a T-shape, comprising a three-bay 18th century farmhouse at the centre, a two-bay early 19th century addition to the west, and a larger four-by-four bay early 19th century addition to the east.

The 18th century part features a central segment-headed doorcase, now partly filled with a 20th-century two-light window, flanked by wide, segment-headed, glazing bar casements. Above the ground floor, there are two three-light horizontal sliding glazing bar sashes to either side of a central single-light casement, with a segment head. Above those windows are two flat-headed three-light horizontal sliding glazing bar sashes under wooden lintels. The western addition has a segment-headed doorcase with a plank door to the east and a large, segment-headed, four-light, small-pane window to the west. A shallower window is set above, and a two-light window is located to the east. The eastern addition has a more elaborate off-centre pilastered stone doorcase with a glazed, panelled door and plain overlight, flanked by a glazing bar sash below a flat, gauged brick arch to the north and a large, late 19th century, canted bay window with plain sashes to the south. Above the ground floor, there are four glazing bar sashes below flat, gauged brick arches, and a further four smaller, similar sashes with similar arches above.

Inside, a staircase features stick balusters, scrolled cheekpieces, and a ramped handrail. The eastern rooms have early 19th century reeded cornices and plain marble fireplaces in the first-floor rooms.
