What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached three-bay two-storey former rectory, built 1789, with lower multiple-bay two-storey return to rear. In use as private house sice 1908. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods, and having limestone eaves course to return. Painted roughcast render to walls. Square-headed window openings with eight-over-eight pane timber sliding sash windows to front and mainly six-over-six pane to rear, some of latter in segmental-headed openings, all with tooled limestone sills. Square-headed door opening with double-leaf timber panelled door having paned overlight and limestone steps. Outbuildings to rear of site with roughcast rendered walls and pitched corrugated-iron roofs. Round-arched limestone entranceway to rear yard.

This significant house retains notable features such as the timber sliding sash windows and double-leaf door. Located at the end of a long drive this house is set within its own mature grounds. The main house, together with the outbuildings to the rear, makes a pleasing group of domestic structures. The return may be an earlier house.
