Description

The Rectory, built around 1860, is a Gothic Revival style building made of red and white brick, topped with a hipped slate roof and a gable. It stands two and a half stories tall, with the entrance front facing west. The central doorway features a pointed arch opening made of alternating red and white brick voussoirs, and the door itself is from the 19th century, complete with ornate hinges.

To the north of the entrance, there is a double sash window set under a segmental arch. To the south, a tall pointed stair window is accompanied by two small sash windows above, all adorned with red and white brick voussoirs. The south end bay projects slightly and features a tall gable. On the ground floor, there is a tall double casement window, with a double sash window above it and a narrow casement at the attic level, all with segment heads and red and white brick voussoirs. Additionally, there are various outbuildings to the north, designed in a similar polychromatic brickwork style.
