Description
Sculthorpe House is a house that was formerly a rectory, dating from the 18th century, with later 18th-century additions and a wing added around 1820 at the rear. The front of the house is made of colour-washed brick and features a red pantiled roof. The south returns are constructed of red brick on the west side and gault brick on the east side, both topped with black pantiled roofs.
The front of the house has three bays and two storeys with attics, highlighted by a central gabled entrance wing that has brick rusticated quoins. The front wing is doubled at the front but single on the returns, reflecting an early 18th-century style, although the gable level may be from the 19th century. Each flanking bay has one ground floor and one first floor sash window with glazing bars, while the central first floor sash also has glazing bars, and there is a 19th-century attic gable casement.
The entrance features a central part-glazed door set in a reeded frame with decorative paterae from around 1820, along with a later 20th-century pediment and iron columns. The end gables have stacks, and the west gable includes a ground floor gault brick bowed bay from around 1820, which has French windows in reeded frames.
The west return of the house has three storeys with sash windows that also feature glazing bars. The north return, facing the garden, was built around 1820 and consists of four bays, with four ground floor French windows and four first floor sashes. There is a three-bay ground floor room that showcases Greek Revival details.
