Addison House

Addison House is a rectory that has been converted into a house, built around 1870. It features a roughcast exterior and a tiled roof, with two storeys and three bays. The left bay has a rear gable, and there is a service wing on the right. Inside, there is a central stair hall flanked by reception rooms. The front has a flint and brick gabled porch with a chamfered stone door surround at the central bay. The windows are hollow chamfered stone-mullioned, with those on the ground floor also featuring transoms and widely spaced diagonal leading. The right and left bays have gables facing the front, and there are brick stacks. A single dormer is located at the rear. This building is a rebuild on or near the site of the 17th-century rectory where the essayist Joseph Addison was born.
