Description

The Rectory is a mid-19th century rectory built of red brick with a concrete tile roof and brick chimney stacks. There is a later extension at the rear that is rendered and has a slate roof. The main structure is rectangular with two storeys and features a three-windowed garden front, which includes a two-storey canted bay at the center. The windows are wooden cross-mullioned types, with single-light casements on the ground floor and single-light, two-light, and three-light wood-mullioned casements on the first floor. The windows in the canted bay have flat-chamfered dressed stone surrounds, and there is a flat-chamfered string course that runs across the facade below the upper floor window sills. All casements include glazing bars, and there are stopped hoods over the windows on either side of the canted bay. Access to the building is through a flat-roofed porch that projects from the left gable end of the main body, featuring double doors set within a high 'Tudor'-arched surround with enriched spandrels. The porch has small angle buttresses at its corners and cusped barge boarding. The building has axial stacks, some topped with octagonal chimney pots. The interior has not been inspected.
