Description
Rectory Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 18th century and has undergone some alterations in the 19th century. The building is timber-framed and roughcast rendered, topped with a plain tiled roof that has a double pile to the north-west and is hipped at an angle to the south-east. It features a ridge stack and two gable end stacks. The house has two storeys with attics.
The main entrance facade was remodeled in the 19th century and includes a central Tuscan entrance porch. On the first floor, there are three twelve-paned flush-framed hung sash windows, while the ground floor has two 20-paned hung sash windows that replaced two 19th-century three-light hung sash windows. A hipped dormer window is present on the south-east elevation. The eaves cornice is moulded with flat dentils.
Inside, there are two rear rooms that feature stop-chamfered ceiling beams and 19th-century chimney pieces.
