Description
The Rectory is an 18th-century house that was altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of brick, with the south and west fronts covered in stucco and painted, featuring chamfered stone quoins. The building has a hipped slate roof with two hipped roof dormers on the west side and a moulded eaves cornice. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has two brick chimneys.
The west front has three bays, featuring a central glazed door set in a painted stone doorcase, which is adorned with engaged Doric columns, an entablature, and a pediment. The windows are sash style, with the right-hand window being a painted dummy. The first floor windows have closed scalloped canopies at the top and all have segmental arched heads above each pair of panes.
The south front also has three bays, with a tripartite sash window on the left, a large canted bay on the right, and three sash windows on the first floor, with the right-hand window being a dummy.
