Former Rectory

Large gabled rectory in Tudor-Gothic style. Constructed of uncoursed, dressed, squared limestone blocks with tooled ashlar dressings on a chamfered plinth; original steeply-pitched roof of copper-green Westmoreland slates with oversailing, feathered eaves. Kneelered gable parapets with overlapping coping stones and tall chimneys with moulded cornices and capping. The main block is of 3 bays and 2 storeys plus attic. Central pointed-arched, chamfered opening to shallow porch projection; this is a flush ground-floor continuation of the projecting, gabled bay to the L. Deeply-recessed inner arch with chamfer and broach stops; boarded door with simple ironwork. Above the entrance is a rectangular light with chamfered jambs and modern glazing. The L bay has a wooden cross window to the ground floor with leaded upper lights and 4-pane lower; chamfered jambs as before and a splayed, projecting sill. Three-light stone mullioned window to the first floor with modern glazing and sill as before; in the gable apex a rectangular splayed vent. The right-hand bay has a ground-floor cross-window as before and a 2-light mullioned window to the first floor, with surmounting gable; 2-light casement window to attic within a large central gabled dormer, with simple decorative bargeboards and deep eaves and verges. All of the principal windows have expressed segmental or shallow-pointed relieving arches. Single-storey canted bay window advanced to R ( NE) side, with cross-windows as before; 2-light window to first floor with gable-light above. To the R, a large 3-light wooden mullioned and transomed window with further 3-light (stone) mullioned window above. Large plain-glazed stair window to centre at rear, with flanking gabled and projecting bays; that to the R has a modern 2-storey extension. A lower L-shaped service range adjoins the main block to the L, set back slightly; construction as before with roof hipped to L side (SW). This has a gable to the front with a single-storey lean-to projection below a squat 4-light mullioned window; pointed-arched entrance with boarded door to its L return. Modern glazed upper door with steel fire escape access.

The interiors are plain with 4- and 6-panel doors and a simple pitch-pine Victorian staircase.
