Description

The Rectory is a house that was built in three phases during the early, mid, and late 19th century, which are now connected as the front, middle, and rear sections. The front unit features stucco walls with slightly projecting architectural details, including a parapet with coping and entablature mouldings, quoins, a Gothic weathering band at the first floor, architraves on the upper openings, chamfered lower openings beneath hoodmoulds, and a plinth. The middle section, which has tall gables at each end, is constructed from ironstone with brick quoins and stuccoed hoodmoulds. The rear section has polygonal malmstone walls with yellow brick quoins and cambered arches. The symmetrical front faces northwest and is two storeys high, featuring a layout of three windows: one over one over one, with Victorian sash windows in the ground floor. There is a four-panelled door beneath a plain fanlight. The rear sections are also two storeys with an attic, displaying sash windows and tall gables at the ends. The roof of the rear parts is tiled, while the front part has a single pitch slate roof behind the parapet.
