Rectory Farmhouse

Rectory Farmhouse is a house that originated in the mid 17th century but was mostly rebuilt in the early 18th century, with part of the west end dating to the early 19th century. There have been some repairs and alterations in the mid to late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with the east end rendered. It has a plain tiled roof, which was originally mansard. A ridge stack made of 19th century gault brick features two diagonally set shafts, replacing the original mid 17th century stacks. The house is two storeys high with an attic, although the attic has been removed. A plat band runs between the storeys. On the first floor, there are two 12-pane hung sash windows and one blocked window opening, with segmental arches above one of the sash windows and the two blocked openings. The west end dates to around 1800, and the first floor was rebuilt in the mid to late 20th century. The ground floor, made of gault brick, includes a doorway from around 1800 that has its original architrave and a panelled door, along with a modern bay window.
