Description
The Rectory is a building that dates from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century front wing and later additions. It is constructed of red brick and features plain tiles and pantiles on the roof. The front wing has a hipped slate roof with broad overhanging eaves and large lateral stacks. The main 18th-century range has two storeys with garrets, while the early 19th-century front wing has three storeys, with the rest of the building being two storeys high. The east-west 18th-century range connects to the early 19th-century parallel front range to the south, creating an H-plan layout. There is a later 19th-century two-storey gabled addition at the rear of the connecting wing, along with a further lower, later 19th-century wing at a right angle to the 18th-century range to the north.
The early 19th-century front range features a stone plinth and consists of four bays, with an added two-window, single-storey square bay to the left that has a cornice and parapet. The ground floor has 15-pane sash windows, the first floor has 12-pane sash windows, and the second floor has 6-pane sash windows, all with stone lintels. The 18th-century range includes a broad central projecting stack with small windows to the right and a garret window to the left. The dentil eaves cornice extends across the gable, and the verge treatment creates a pediment that is interrupted by the stack. The link-block to the right features the main entrance, which has a six-panel door, an overlight with an architrave, and a small cornice. On the rear gable end, there are 12-pane sash windows along with small attic sashes arranged in a 3 over 9 pattern within the pediment. The interior has not been inspected.
