Description
Rectory Farmhouse is a mid-19th century farmhouse, possibly incorporating an 18th century structure. It is built of rubble with a Cotswold stone roof, coped verges and ashlar bases to the end chimneys. The farmhouse is two-and-a-half storeys high, with two gabled dormers. It has three bays, featuring casement windows; the outer windows are two-light with segment heads, while the central bay contains a narrow single-light window above a chamfered doorway with a keystone. A fire-insurance mark is visible to the left of the centre. A tall window, possibly a former stair light, is located at the rear.
