This former glebe house, which was originally designed by the architect James Pain for the Reverend R. Murray, retains much of its attractive and well proportioned façade, which is distinguished by the finely cut limestone porch and dressings and are indicative of nineteenth-century craftsmanship. Set in a mature landscape, the setting is enhanced by the well preserved outbuilding, decorative entrance piers and gates.
