Erskine House

Erskine House is a late 18th-century rectory that has been converted into an old persons home. The building features a combination of brick and laced flint, with a facade of header bond brick arranged in wide buff and red bands, and it has a tiled roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and consists of three main bays, which have been extended on both sides; the left extension is made of Flemish bond brick, while the right is constructed from vitrified blue brick. The central entrance boasts a six-panelled door topped by a three-paned overlight set in a heavy frame. The windows are twelve-paned sashes with gauged brick lintels measuring 30 centimeters. The eaves are offset, and there are two hipped dormers. At the rear, there is a one-bay wing on the right that has been extended to include an early 18th-century single-storey outbuilding, which has been raised to two storeys and features a gable stack. Inside, there is a Carrara marble fireplace from the 18th century, which has been reset at an angle in the right bay.
