Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey rectory over basement, built c.1845, with bay window to front, and advanced end bays flanking round-headed niches to south elevation. Now in use as private house. Hipped slate roofs with overhanging eaves and rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed opening with timber sash windows, six-over-six pane, with traceried two-over-two and four-over-four pane to bay window. Chamfered round-headed door opening with timber moulded panelled door, fanlight, and render block-and-start surround with keystone. Flight of steps over basement leading to door. Single and two-storey outbuildings with pitched slate roofs and rubble walls, and walled garden, to site.

This notable house has some well-designed and well-crafted features, such as a notable bay window to the ground floor with well-designed tracery detailing, and a distinctive panelled door. The projecting bays and over-sailing eaves give a distinctive roof-line to the façade as seen from the road. The walled garden is still in use, and the house is complemented by its outbuildings.
