Description

Winfrith Court, formerly known as The Rectory, is a former rectory dating from the early 19th century. It features brick and stone walls, some of which are rendered, and a slate roof with brick stacks. The building stands three storeys tall. The entrance facade, located at the rear, includes a modern bow-fronted porch with part-glazed doors, Tuscan columns, and an entablature. On the ground and first floors, there is one double-hung sash window with glazing bars and one blind window. A similar window is centrally located at the mezzanine level, leading to the stairs. The second floor has two similar windows and one blind window. The original entrance facade on the south-east gable wall has a six-panel door with a fanlight. The ground floor features two double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, while the first and second floors each have three similar windows. The garden elevation displays four double-hung sash windows with glazing bars on each floor, and there is a moulded eaves cornice. Inside, the building contains several reeded architraves with angle rosettes. The main first-floor rooms have contemporary hob gates, and there are other period fireplaces that have been imported. The staircase features a cut string design with square balusters, a wreathed handrail, and simple carved spandrils.
