Description
The Rectory is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of chequer brick with pale vitreous headers, featuring a moulded plinth, a plain band course at the first floor, and an old tile roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a total of five bays.
The windows are 3-pane sash types set in wooden architrave frames. The ground floor windows have gauged brick heads, while the first floor windows have cambered heads. The central entrance features a renewed six-panelled door with glazed top panels and a rectangular fanlight, all framed with wooden architrave and plain reveals.
On the right gable, there are two bays of blind windows with cambered heads and a paired wooden casement in the attic. The left gable mirrors this design but includes a cross casement on the ground floor left and a half-timbered lean-to on the right. There are 19th and 20th-century extensions at the rear.
