What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Detached double-pile three-bay two-storey former rectory, built c. 1810, now in use as private house. Recent porch addition to front, and three-bay single-storey extensions to rear. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls, with painted rendered walls to west elevation. Square-headed window openings having bipartite one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with limestone sills. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to west and rear and one-over-one pane to east elevation. Round-headed entrance doorway with spoked fanlight over timber panelled double-leaf doors, approached by flight of limestone steps. Multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding to north, with loft, pitched slate roof, rubble sandstone walls, and square-headed timber battened doors.

This former rectory retains its bipartite timber sash windows to both floors, which are an interesting and unusual feature. The simple entrance with spoked fanlight forms the decorative focus of the facade. The associated outbuilding adds context to the site.
