Description
The Rectory is a building dating from around 1840, or possibly an earlier 19th-century house that was altered at that time. It is two storeys high and features six windows. The exterior is faced with knapped flints, and it has stone quoins, a cornice, and window surrounds. The roof is tiled and has cresting, while the windows are casement style. There is a central two-storey projection with a parapet, which is topped with a finial and includes a 4-centred doorway. Additionally, there is a ground floor extension with one window bay at the north end.
