Description

The Rectory is a house dating from the early 19th century. It has a rendered exterior and a hipped slate roof, featuring a long rectangular plan. The building is two storeys high and includes a band at the first floor, wide flat eaves, and stacks on the hips to the north and south, with two stacks symmetrically spaced on the east slope of the roof.

On the east elevation, there are glazing bar sash windows: two on the left, one tripartite window, and four on the right. The entrance features a four-panel door with a glazed top and side light, which is set beneath a 20th-century brick porch with a barrel roof. Access to the porch is via five stone steps.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 61% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
