Description
This is a two-storey Regency rectory, built in the early 19th century. It consists of a square main block with a gabled crosswing to the rear. The building is constructed from squared, dressed limestone blocks with a plain stringcourse marking the floor level on the main sides. It has a shallow-pitched slate roof with deep eaves and a large central chimney.
The front facade is symmetrical, with a prominent central bay and advanced corners that create a clasping buttress effect, recessing the outer bays. A 20th-century enclosed, glazed timber porch with a slated roof and plain pillars provides access to the central bay, which has double inner doors. Tripartite sash windows, with a 16-pane central section and 4-pane outer sections, are slightly recessed on either side of the entrance. The first floor has nine-pane sashes, with one original window lacking horns. Stone sills project from all openings.
The right (northeast) side features a 16-pane French window on the ground floor, with a nine-pane sash above. The gabled crosswing projects slightly on both the northeast and southwest sides. A former ground-floor opening on the southwest side has been blocked with a wall, and there is a nine-pane sash above. The southwest side of the crosswing has a tripartite window on the ground floor and a 12-pane sash on the first floor. The rear elevation has two plain sashes and a modern window. A single-storey, hipped-roofed service wing, originally a two-storey range and now an addition, adjoins the rear at a right angle to the northwest. This wing has a 20th-century door and window. The southwest side of the service wing has an 8-pane casement window and a 9-pane sash beyond.
Inside, the entrance hall features an elegant curving staircase with a mahogany rail, columnar newels, and stick balusters, extending as a gallery to the first floor. The doorways have Regency-style architraves with foliated corner bosses, and the doors are six-panelled. The plaster cornices are simply moulded. A wall previously separating the hall from the former dining room (on the right) was largely removed in the early 20th century, creating a wide, moulded, depressed-arched opening to give a sense of space between the two formerly separate areas.
