Description
The Presbytery is a house dating from the 18th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a red plain tiled roof that features two flat head dormers projecting from the eaves. The building has two storeys and attics, with a three-window range of small paned, double hung sashes that have moulded surrounds and drip hoods above them. The central entrance door is six panelled and is adorned with an open pediment and brackets, along with a diamond light above. To the right, there is a red brick chimney stack, and the house has wings extending to the rear.
