Description
The Rectory is an early 19th-century building constructed of grey brick, featuring a low-pitched hipped slated roof. It stands two storeys tall and has three sash windows with glazing bars on each side. Plain brick pilasters create slight recesses in the walls. The garden front, facing south, has a blocked central doorway. The north entrance front displays asymmetrical fenestration, with a central doorway that has a moulded architrave and panelled reveals. Additionally, there is a later two-storey lower wing on the east side.
