Appraisal
Built as a glebe house by the Board of First Fruits this building has retained its original character with slate roof, lime render and small-pane sash windows all intact. Significant interior features such as the staircase and panelled doors are also intact. The main outbuilding has been recently converted without the loss of original proportions or character. The church this rectory served is located across the field to the north-west. |
