Description
This is a mid-17th century and late 17th century rectory, later refronted around 1760, now a house. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled stone slate roof and brick end stacks. The building follows a two-unit through-passage plan. The main facade is symmetrical with a five-window arrangement over two storeys and an attic. It has a 20th century six-panelled door set within a pedimented Tuscan stone porch. The windows are 6-pane sashes with timber lintels, and there is a gabled roof dormer containing a 20th century three-light casement window.
The rear of the building features a stair turret. An early to mid-18th century wing, constructed of similar materials, adjoins the rear left side with a two-storey, three-window range. A single-bay wing is attached to the right.
Inside, the left-hand room features a chamfered beam. To the right is a room with mid-18th century fielded panelling, china alcoves flanking the fireplace, and a 17th century plank-and-stud partition adjoining the through-passage. The roof includes a four-bay collar-truss construction with butt purlins. The rear wings have similar roofs, constructed with heavier timber.
A tall limestone rubble wall with a stone cope runs along the rear right side for approximately 8 metres, connecting to an outbuilding behind number 20. This wall has group value.
