Description
The Rectory is a house built in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of white brick and features a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, set on a plinth, with chimney stacks arranged from left to right on the return elevation. The central gable rises three storeys and includes a single top glazing bar sash window, with two additional glazing bar sashes on both the first and ground floors. Each floor is flanked by one glazing bar sash window on either side, all of which have moulded labels and embattled top frames. There is a glazed door located in the right return, which is accessed through a glazed porch with a kneelered gable. To the left return, there is a single storey extension featuring three wooden casement windows. The rear of the property includes various wings of irregular shapes and sizes.
