Calverton House

Calverton House is a rectory built around 1820 on the site of a Roman camp. It was constructed for the Hon. Rev. C. G. Perceval, whose father had commissioned the nearby church. The house is two storeys and has an attic. It is built of yellow brick with a red brick parapet and a substantial wing to the west.

The garden front features a symmetrical arrangement of 1-3-1 windows. The windows are glazing bar sashes with flat arches, although the ground floor has three-light sashes in slightly projecting bays with cambered heads. A glazed door is located to the left of the centre. Dormers are visible in the roof, and there are two tall brick stacks. A three-course band runs above the first floor. An original leaf rainwater pipe is located at the corner of the right-hand bay. The west wing is set back and features a hipped slate roof, two storeys, and four windows. It has glazing bar sashes with flat arches, and the entrance is located to the left of centre. The entrance front has a 2-3-2 window arrangement with glazing bar sashes. The end windows of the first floor are blocked, and the left-hand end window is lower than the others. The centre of the entrance front projects slightly, and a three-course band is positioned above the ground floor. A central, closed porch features incised pilasters and a shallow pediment, sheltering a six-panel door. The west wing projects forward with three windows facing east and four facing north, all with sash windows and cambered heads.
