Description
Peak House is a former rectory built in the 1870s. It is constructed of red brick and features a modelled band at the first-floor level. The roof is steeply pitched, hipped and gabled, covered with tiles and has a moulded eaves band, along with modelled ridge stacks. The building is two stories high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows. On the first floor, there are two pairs of two-light stone-dressed trefoil-headed windows, with gablets over the outer ones. The ground floor has a hipped bay to the left and a two-storey gabled porch projection to the right of centre, which has stone-dressed verge parapets. The porch features a trefoil at the apex and a deeply-moulded pilastered Tudor-arch entrance, flanked by diagonal buttresses, with a part-glazed inset door.
