Description
The Rectory is a house dating from the early 19th century. It has a colourwashed render exterior and a hipped concrete-tile roof. The building is two storeys high and features rendered stacks on both the left and right sides of the centre, along with deep eaves. On the first floor, there are three round-arched, 2-light glazing-bar casement windows, each adorned with Y-tracery in the round heads. The ground floor has two windows, and the central entrance consists of a ribbed door with a round-arched glazed upper panel that matches the window pattern, topped by an open gable hood supported on braces. On the left side of the building, there are two windows on each floor, although the left ground floor window has some missing glazing bars. At the rear, there is a buttressed wing that extends at right angles to the left, along with a 20th-century pentice in the centre featuring a door.
