Wyatts

This is a former rectory, dating to around 1790, built "after a design of Mr. Wyatt's" for the rector, Mr. Brock. Additions and minor internal alterations were made in the 1860s. The building is constructed of painted grey Flemish bond brick, with a slate roof and brick stacks.

The house is a deep, rectangular block with a two-story bow on the front. The main rooms face the front: a dining room in the center, an entrance hall behind it, with a parlour to the north and a study to the south. Services are located in a half basement. In the 1860s, a north-east wing was added at a right angle to the main block, complementing the original style. A new entrance porch was created in the angle between these two sections, and a front window in the study was blocked, likely to accommodate furniture or bookshelves. The house has remained largely unchanged since.

The exterior is two stories and an attic, with a half basement. The symmetrical facade features a 1:3:1 window arrangement, with three windows in the central bow. Original 12-pane hornless sashes are on the ground floor, with the right-hand window blocked internally. Original 6-pane sashes are on the first floor and in the basement, though one left-hand basement window is a 20th-century replacement. The rear elevation has a gable and a round-headed original sash window with margin glazing, with matching windows in the attic. On the south end, the eaves return to form a pediment. The 1860s porch on the rear has Doric columns supporting a glazed roof, and a 20th-century two-leaf outer door. The north-east wing has 2-pane horned sashes, a round-headed attic window, and 6-pane basement windows.

The interior retains many original features, including Adam-style chimney-pieces in the parlour and dining room, plaster friezes, egg and dart cornices, and shutters. Ground-floor shutters are horizontal, while first-floor shutters are vertical sliding. Full-height paired doors from the entrance hall to the study are late 18th century and incorporate a blocked fanlight. The staircase has a mahogany handrail and a bowed balustrade on the attic storey. Original 18th or early 19th century chimney-pieces and grates remain on the first floor. The basement kitchen and service rooms are also intact. The kitchen features a tiled floor, an original chimney-piece, a separate bread oven, and exposed chamfered ceiling beams with run-out stops.

This is an unusually complete and unspoiled late 18th century gentry house.
