Kentisbury Rectory

Kentisbury Rectory is a rectory built around 1830 to 1840. It features roughcast walls with a stone rubble plinth and has a low-pitched hipped slate roof with lead rolls at the hips and deep eaves supported by shaped soffit brackets. The stacks are rendered and brick, with some having been rebuilt. The building has a double-depth main block with a central entrance hall. To the right of the hall are two principal rooms that overlook the garden, while the smaller rooms to the left likely include a study. There is a service wing to the left at the back and a single-storey extension to the right.

The exterior is two storeys high with a three-bay entrance front, where the right-hand bay projects forward. On the ground floor, there are tall 15-pane sash windows, and on the first floor, there are 9-pane sashes. The central doorway features a 19th-century enclosed porch with a pediment and pilasters at the corners, along with panelled double doors and a rectangular overlight with octagonal panes. The right-hand return garden front has a three-window arrangement above two windows, while the left-hand side has a two-storey canted bay with bracketed eaves, featuring tall 15-pane sashes on the ground floor and 9-pane sashes on the first floor. The left-hand return has two 9-pane sashes on each floor to the left, and the rear service wing, which also breaks forward, has sashes with glazing bars. All the windows are original 19th-century sashes. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to retain its original joinery, including doors, chimneypieces, and staircase.
