What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey former rectory house, built c.1880, with canted bay window to south-east, and recent extensions to north elevation. Now in use as private house. Hipped artificial slate roofs, rendered chimneystack and cast-iron and uPVC rainwater goods. Smooth rendered walls with rendered plinth. Camber-headed openings with stone and concrete sills, and replacement uPVC windows. Camber-headed opening to entrance with raised rendered surround, timber panelled door with glazed side panels and two-pane overlight. Rubble stone two-bay outbuilding to north with recent pitched slate roof, red brick surrounds to windows and cobbled courtyard.
This building is a fine example of a purpose built rectory and is a reminder of the high quality housing which was provided by the Church of Ireland for its clergy in the nineteenth century. Though some historic joinery has been lost, the building retains its fine doorcase. It is set in close proximity to the Church of Ireland church, with which it forms an interesting group.
