Description

The Rectory Farmhouse is an early 19th-century building with an early 20th-century addition of metal sheet cladding at the rear. It is constructed of stock brick and features an old tile roof, forming an L-plan layout. The farmhouse has two storeys and three bays, with two gabled sections, one of which is larger than the other, while the third bay is set back. Each gable on the first floor contains pointed openings, with one sash window featuring diamond glazing bars, and the third bay has one sash window. On the ground floor, there is one sash window, and the entrance door is set in a recess at the top of a flight of stone steps, with a 20th-century addition located in the angle of the L.
