Description

Margaret Roding House is a rectory dating to the early 19th century, with extensions added during the 19th century, and now used as a private house. It is constructed of gault brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with slate roofs. The building is square in plan, with its main entrance facing west-northwest. An early 19th-century corner wing was added to the northeast, alongside a single-storey stable wing with a tiled roof to the north-north-east. A late 19th-century octagonal corner tower was added to the southeast. The house is two storeys high.

The entrance elevation features a recessed double door, glazed with a fanlight, set within a brick porch. Adjacent to the door is a late 19th-century sash window with eight panes. Two brick chimney stacks are designed as giant pilasters with a recessed round arch at the front of each. Above the door is an early 19th-century sash window with a round arch, creating a symmetrical appearance. A modillioned cornice tops the building, leading to a shallow-pitched hipped roof.

The northeast corner tower has a plain boarded door and an early 19th-century 12-light sash window with crown glass. Above this is a further early 19th-century 16-light sash window with crown glass, also with crown glass. The tower is capped with a shallow-pitched pyramidal roof.

The south-facing garden elevation features brick quoins on the original building, and at each floor, a central round-headed niche. A late 19th-century bay window is present, with three sash windows. There is one late 19th-century sash window on the ground floor and two on the first floor. A modillioned cornice tops this section, leading to a shallow-pitched hipped roof. The octagonal corner tower on this side features a central French window and a single sash window on each side, with three windows on the first floor. It is topped by a pyramidal roof.
