Description
The building is a rectory constructed from well courses and squared stone, topped with a slate roof that features a strong overhang at the eaves. It is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The central entrance is marked by paired three-panelled doors and a radial fanlight, which is sheltered by an added porch. On either side of the entrance, there are low 12-pane sash windows, while the first floor has 9-pane sash windows. A lower extension was added against the left-hand gable return in 1904, which includes three 12-pane sash windows in the gable end and an entrance at the rear, primarily to provide additional service accommodation.
Inside, the layout of the main rooms is arranged on either side of a wide entrance and stair hall, and the plain-spindle staircase remains intact. However, there are few other original details left in the interior.
