Babworth Rectory

Babworth Rectory is a residential training centre, originally a rectory, dating from the early to mid-19th century, with later 20th-century alterations. It incorporates fabric from an earlier structure. The building is constructed of brick, with stucco rendering, and has slate roofs with ashlar coped gables and wooden barge boarding. It features a single left-hand gable stack and three tall, Tudor-style ridge stacks.

The south front is two storeys plus an attic, with four bays and a projecting wing, and incorporates a two-storey canted bay with a conical lead roof and finial. The canted bay has a central doorway with a half-glazed door and overlight, flanked by single glazing bar sashes. To the left is a single tripartite low glazing bar sash, a single doorway with glazing bar marginal lights flanking a glazing bar door, and two glazing bar sashes. The gable end of the cross wing to the right features a single tripartite sash bow window with a Tudor-style hoodmould supported on wooden brackets. Above the canted bay are two glazing bar sashes. The upper floor has four glazing bar sashes, the right-hand one being slightly higher and larger. The attic has four small gabled dormers with single glazing bar sashes and single finials.

The east side of the cross wing, two storeys high, has three gables with finials echoing the dormers of the south front, along with a single Tudor-style stack. It has three bays plus a two-storey semicircular bowed window bay to the right. This bay has three glazing bar sashes, the one on the right being larger and lower, with three low glazing bar sashes in the bow. Above are six similar, smaller sashes.

To the left of the south front is an attached, slightly recessed, five-sided bay with a conical roof, featuring three glazing bar sashes and two similar sashes above. Further left, attached and recessed, is a lower two-storey, two-bay wing with two glazing bar Yorkshire sashes, the one on the right being larger, with a larger similar sash above. Attached to the left is a polygonal bay with a conical roof, formerly a game larder, containing a single sash with Gothick arched glazing bars under a pointed arched head, and a doorway under a similar arch with a wooden door. A matching sash is located to the rear of this bay. The rear of the building has 20th-century wooden extensions.
