Appraisal
This handsome former rectory is built in a typical nineteenth century style, with two-storeys, central hallway, two centralised chimneystacks and a hipped roof. Such buildings were widely constructed for clergy from the late eighteenth century onwards. The formal symmetry of the building and the retention of its original form and features ensure that it makes a positive contribution to the local landscape.
