Description

The Rectory is a house dating from the early 18th century. It features red and grey brick headers with red dressings and has an old tile roof. The building has a basement, two storeys, and an attic, with two end stacks to the southwest linked by a blank arched panel, and two end stacks to the northeast.

The southeast front has a plinth and plat bands above the basement windows and at the ground floor sill level. It is topped with a moulded brick triangular pediment that includes a thermal window in a sunken panel in the tympanum over all three bays. The windows are glazing bar sashes with segmental heads and raised brick architraves. To the right, there is a one-storey, one-bay linking block made of grey headers, which also has a plinth, plat band, an old tile roof, and a round arched doorway with impost blocks and a boarded door.

On the southwest front, the corners are slightly recessed. There is a central arched window on the first floor and an oval window in the attic above. A central six-panelled door, which is accessed by nine steps with iron railings, features an architrave, keystone, and a flat hood supported by large brackets.

Inside, the Rectory boasts a double-height panelled staircase hall with a three-flight staircase that has turned balusters, along with some good fireplaces.
