Description
St Andrews House is a house, originally the rectory, built around 1840 and later converted into flats. It is constructed of grey gault brick with dressings of Ketton stone, and has a hipped slate roof with a stone eaves cornice and a ridge stack. The building is arranged around a main range with a service wing at the rear.
The symmetrical front elevation has eight bays, with the three central bays projecting slightly and crowned by a pediment. Windows, which retain yellow brick gauged arches, are recessed hung sashes with twelve panes each and have later louvred shutters. The ground-floor windows are similar but are taller, with fifteen panes each. The main entrance is at the east end and features a stone, pedimented doorcase supported by console brackets. It contains panelled double doors.
