Description
The Rectory is a timber-framed and plastered building, now roughcast in parts. It likely dates from the 17th century but was added to and enlarged in the 18th and 19th centuries. The main block faces west and has two long parallel wings extending to the east. The building is two storeys high. The west front features a range of four windows, the north front has three windows, and the south front includes one window in the gable end of the main block and two windows in the east wing. The windows are generally 18th century double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set in flush cased frames. The north front has a 19th century gabled porch. Inside, there are some exposed beams. The roofs are tiled.
