Description

Tarrant Rushton House is a rectory that has been converted into a private house. It originated in the mid-18th century and has undergone extensive additions from various periods in the 19th century, along with further alterations in the 20th century. The building features banded flint and rubble with brick and ashlar dressings, while later additions are constructed in brick and render. It has tiled roofs with brick stacks at the ends of the original range and on the right gable wall. The house is two storeys high with attics and has three windows in the original section. The ground floor includes horizontally sliding sash windows with glazing bars, set under flat, gauged brick arches. The upper floor has two-light casements with glazing bars, and the dormers feature casements with leaded lights. The later additions include sash windows with glazing bars. There are central 20th-century glazed double doors within a 20th-century pedimented porch.
