What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey over basement former rectory, built c.1820, with extension to rear and outbuildings. Now in use as a private dwelling. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, cast-iron rainwater goods and rendered chimneystacks. Ruled and lined rendered walls with stucco quoins. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills and timber sash windows. Wyatt window to entrance bay. Round-headed door opening with timber panelled door flanked by sidelights. Single- and two-storey outbuildings to rear yard with pitched slate roofs and rendered walls.
The surviving original features such as the timber six-over-six sash windows, tooled limestone sills and timber panelled door all contribute to the character of the structure. Nestled amongst mature trees and accessed up a tree lined avenue, this former rectory is pleasantly situated. This setting is further enhanced by the survival of the outbuildings to the rear yard.
