Description
House, dating from circa 1714, likely designed by Moses Cooke. The building is constructed of painted brick with a red plain tiled roof, featuring parapet verges, four small hipped gables, and halved, hipped gables to the right and left. Red brick chimney stacks are located to the right and left of the property. The house has two storeys and attics. A central hipped dormer and a flat-headed dormer are present to the left. The facade facing Rectory Road comprises three bays, with a central staircase projection featuring railings and parapets with moulded cornices to the left and right bays. Pilasters accentuate each angle. A central band runs across the facade. The window arrangement is 1:1:1, with small-paned vertically sliding sashes on the first floor to the left and right, and similar windows of two lights on the ground floor. The central bay features longer windows; the first floor has a recessed arch over the windows, and the ground floor has gauged brick arches with a band above. The churchyard facade presents two storeys, an attic, and a basement. It features a panelled parapet with a moulded cornice and pilasters to the right and left, along with a central band to the right and left. Two flat-headed dormers are present. The first-floor window range consists of three small-paned vertically sliding sashes, while the ground floor has two windows of two lights with small-paned vertically sliding sashes. Two basement windows are also present, all with segmental brick arches. A central eight-panel door, with a two-light window above and reveal panels, is approached by steps. To the north is a smaller two-storey extension and a single-storey pantiled outhouse. The extension and outhouse are also of painted brick with a red tiled roof and two red brick chimney stacks. The extension has a three-window range of 20th-century casements, and the outhouse has a two-window range. The extension features two vertically boarded doors and one half-glazed door. The main range exhibits significant 18th-century detailing.
