Description

The Grove is a rectory, dating to 1824, which has been converted into three dwellings. It was extended in two phases during the mid-to-late 19th century. The building is constructed of Ham Hill stone ashlar, with a hipped slate roof to the central block and rendered stacks to the former side walls. The side wings have slate roofs, with brick stacks to the outer side walls. The original building has a double-depth plan with a two-storey lean-to at the rear.

The symmetrical main block features a three-window facade, while the later two-storey side wings have a single-window range. A wide flight of steps leads to a Tuscan-style porch of the original building. Windows in the main block have flat, gauged stone arches and 2/2-pane sashes with horns. The side wings have large plate-glass tripartite windows on each floor, with segmental arches to the ground floor and cambered arches to the first floor. The wing to the right is stepped forward from the main block, while the wing to the left is set back.

The interior contains flagstone paving in the hall and an early 19th century staircase to the rear right, which has a stick baluster design, a fretted end, a wreathed mahogany rail, and a curtail step.

A high rubble stone wall with Ham Hill stone coping extends approximately 30 metres to the south-east, curving to meet late 19th century Ham Hill stone gate piers. These piers have plinths, coved cornices, and square, domed caps. The wooden gate has a frame of two squares with diagonal cross-braces and four horizontal rails.
