Description

Rectory Gate House is a building that was originally two or possibly three cottages, dating from the 18th century or earlier, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is two storeys high and features four windows. The central portion of the house is covered in stucco, while the ends are faced with weather-boarding. The roof is tiled, with the eastern end covered in slates. There is a ground floor projection in the centre that has a pediment, which was once a porch. Additionally, there is a carriageway archway through the ground floor at the west end.
