Description

The Rectory is a vicarage built in the late 18th century. It features cement roughcast walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes rendered chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and four bays. A 20th-century door with an overlight is set within an early 20th-century conservatory or porch. The windows are sash style, with glazing bars, and are framed in painted stone surrounds. A 20th-century garage to the left is not of interest.
