The Rectory

The Rectory is a building dating from 1842, constructed of stucco with ashlar dressings and a low-pitched slate roof. Originally, the roof overhung at the eaves on all sides, but it has since been cut back except for the north front. The structure is two storeys high and features a four-window range. It has ashlar corniced end wall stacks, rusticated quoins, a plinth, a platband, and window dressings made of ashlar. The windows are set in long raised surrounds with brackets supporting the sills and a plain stone frieze above. The ground floor windows are adorned with heavy moulded cornices that project from the platband, and they are fitted with six-pane sashes.

At the front, there is a large gabled ashlar porch with a slate eaves roof. The porch has corner piers with moulded imposts that support a moulded round arch featuring a heavy keystone. There are smaller blank arches on the sides and an inner archway with a four-panel door and fanlight. The rear of the building has two gables with a recessed centre; the left gable is now part of Charcoal House, while the centre has a 20th-century lean-to replacing a conservatory. The right gable features rusticated quoins and a fine ashlar projecting centrepiece designed in the style of H. E. Goodridge. This section includes a tripartite ground floor window, a floor band, and a Venetian upper loggia, which is unmoulded except for the arch head and has a pierced stone balcony with a twelve-pane sash set back.

The front garden is enhanced by pierced stone balustrading on the right, consisting of three sections with panelled piers and acroterial caps. There are also three stone cornice piers, along with iron railings and gates at the front. Inside, two rooms on the east side feature Greek revival plasterwork on the ceilings and marble fireplaces.
