Description
The Rectory is a mid-19th century building designed in the Tudor style. It is constructed of roughcast with a double Roman tile roof, featuring coped verges on kneelers and paired diagonally set ashlar end stacks.
The building has two storeys and an attic, with two bays that include large two-light stone mullioned windows, each light having a four-centred head and labels above. To the left, there is a gabled porch that has a three-light window at the front. The porch features a chamfered stone four-centred arch door opening to the left side, which contains a 20th-century door. On the right side, there is a narrow mullioned window with two lights, each light having a trefoil head. Additionally, there is a lower wing on the left side with three bays, where predominantly wooden casements are found, except for the ground floor which has two three-light stone mullioned windows.
