Description
Paxton Place is a former rectory built around 1840, featuring a double pile plan with a service range to the east. The building is constructed of gault brick and has a low pitch, hipped slate roof with a deep overhang at the eaves. It stands two storeys tall. The west front showcases a range of four recessed hung sash windows with glazing bars, with the two central windows set in a slightly projecting bay. There is a doorway framed by a round-headed stone arch, leading to a panelled door. Inside, the original staircase is top-lit and consists of three flights, featuring an open string design and square section balusters with scroll brackets at the ends of the treads.
