Description
The Rectory is a house, likely dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted brick with a slate roof and brick stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a four-window front. The central entrance features double sash doors within a porch supported by square Doric columns. There are twelve-pane sashes on either side of the entrance. The first floor also has four twelve-pane sashes. The roof is hipped. The interior has not been inspected. A later, probably 20th-century, wing of two storeys and one window is attached to the right. This wing has a 20th-century three-panel door to the right, topped with a flat hood supported on shaped brackets, and a 20th-century metal casement window to the left and on the first floor.
