Rectory, now private house. Late C18 - early C19, restored 1939. Red brick, Flemish bond, purple slate roof. 2 storeys, 8 x 2 bays with single- storey 2-bay block slightly recessed to right. Former entrance, now garden, facade: glazed doors bays 3 and 6; 24-pane full-height sashes to ground floor and sashes with glazing bars to first floor, all in flush wood architraves with flat brick arches; a change in the colour of the brick indicates rebuilding in bays 5 and 6, ground floor. Modillioned eaves cornice, hipped roof with large, probably rebuilt, stacks to each end and to rear of ridge, centre. Block to right: 2 windows as main range, blocking course. Left return: left - 6-panel double door with overlight in architrave with panelled rebates, under a porch with Tuscan columns, entablature and deep dentilled cornice; first-floor window as main facade. Lower 2-storey 3-bay service wing to left. Interior: original 6-panel pine doors and small cast-iron fireplaces, but most fittings probably date from the 1939 restoration; the date on rainwater goods outside. The entrance porch was possibly moved from the main front (bays 5 and 6) at that time.
