House, formerly the rectory. C18 and early C19. 2 storeys, irregular form, set sideways on to the road. Part brick, part timber-framed and rendered, with slate roofs. Main range fronted in white brick, with overhanging eaves and paired mutule cornice. Ground storey with 2 outer small-paned sash windows with gauged heads and a large central mid C19 projecting single-storey bay window with a recessed 8-panel door beside it: the 4 top panels glazed, set in a rectangular reeded surround. Over the bay window and door, an ornate wrought-iron open veranda with a sloping slate roof. 4 small-paned sash windows in cased frames to upper storey. Irregular fenestration to the long side range. At the rear, an C18 door with raised fielded panels and a large semi-circular-headed window above. The house is complex and the exterior shows signs of considerable alteration. An entry in the diary of Thomas King of Thelnetham reads: 'Hepworth Parsonage slated 1820'.
