This rectory retains much of its original form, which incorporates both classical and Victorian features such as the regular fenestration rhythm and full-height bay window. Chromatic and textural variation is achieved through the use of limestone dressings and brick walls. The outbuilding to rear is notable for its architectural quality, which is of a standard not usually associated with such structures. The brick piers with sweeping boundary walls are skilfully executed and form an attractive roadside feature.
