What is recorded here

Skryne Rectory in Skreen has a front door on each side of its porch, which is a dangerous amount of choice for a parish visit. You could spend twenty minutes politely letting the rector be out while he followed you round trying to let you in.

Detached three-bay two-storey over basement rectory, built c.1800, with full-height projecting entrance bay. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with limestone string course over basement level. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Square-headed door openings to each side of porch, with moulded surrounds and panelled timber doors, accessed by steps. Roughcast rendered outbuildings and stables to north. Bounded by roughcast rendered wall to road.
The survival of the many features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and internal timber panelled shutters, enhance the significance of this rectory. An interesting feature of the house is the pair of entrance doors, which are set in the full-height entrance bay. The setting of the rectory together with the retention of the related outbuildings enhance the site.
