Description

Rectory Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 17th century, with an 18th-century block projecting to the front left and 19th and 20th-century extensions to the left. The original house is timber framed with whitewashed brick infill, a stone plinth, a thatched roof, and a large central chimney stack with thin brick at the rear. It has two storeys and an attic. The right-hand bay features paired 19th-century casement windows on the ground floor front and gable, a 20th-century metal casement window on the first floor of the gable, and a single leaded casement window in the attic above. There is a 20th-century door and porch at the front with a single light above. The 18th-century projection to the left is made of whitewashed brick with timber framing in the gable and also has a thatched roof. The later extensions are constructed of whitewashed brick with a thatched roof on the right-hand bay and tiled roofs on the rest. Inside the original house, there is a stop-chamfered spine beam and joists in the right-hand room.
