Description
Drayton Court is a rectory that has been converted into a house, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed and squared lias stone, featuring freestone alternating quoins, a moulded stone eaves cornice, coped verges, and a plain tile roof with stone tiles at the eaves. The building is designed in a classical style and consists of two storeys and an attic, with four bays. The windows are 16-pane sash types set in moulded stone architraves, except for two pairs of French windows located on the left side of the ground floor. There is a door opening on the left return, which features a four-panelled door with a transom light, a moulded architrave, and an open triangular pediment supported by brackets.
