The building known as No. 17 Rectory is a 17th-century structure that was refronted in the early 18th century. It is constructed from plum and yellow stock brick, featuring red brick quoins, window dressings, and a string course at the first-floor level. The building has a moulded modillion wooden eaves cornice and an old tiled roof. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and includes three dormers. The main house has seven sash windows with glazing bars. The central entrance features a six-panelled door with a plain rectangular fanlight, pilasters, and a flat canopy supported by brackets. The west elevation facing the garden is symmetrical, with tile-hung gables on either side. There is a central plastered feature that includes an arched glazed door at ground floor level and a Palladian window above it on the first floor. Nos 16 and 17 form a group with their railings.
