Rectory, now house. Circa 1735, with mid-C19 alterations. Coursed dressed
rubble with ashlar dressings and steeply-pitched hipped slate roof, rubble
end chimneys and rear chimney with brick stacks. Two storeys and attic with
dormers; three-course bands at storey levels. 2:1:2 bays; central bay is
gabled and projects slightly. Windows on main storeys have wedge lintels with
raised dropped keyblocks, ashlar sills, and are all 12-pane sashes. There
are two gabled dormers with moulded bargeboards and 4-pane sashes and within
the central gable is a keyed oculus. The central entrance has a flat timber
canopy on straight timber brackets and a 6-panelled door (two upper panels
