This handsome rectory, situated within its own extensive grounds, is secluded by an expanse of woodland. Architecturally, it retains a lot of its original character. Notable features include the Gibbsian limestone door surround, an octagonal wing, and the wrought-iron railings and bootscraper. The outbuilding of the rectory, with its carriage arch and wrought-iron gate complete this attractive Georgian complex.
