Description
Detached three-bay two-storey over raised basement former rectory, built c.1820, now in domestic use. Central advanced entrance porch. Return, outbuildings and water tank to rear. Hipped slate roof with stone ridge tiles and cut stone chimneystacks. Pitched roof to porch. Roughcast-render to walls with stone string course. Square-headed timber sash windows with tooled stone sills. Windows to west set within round-headed recesses. Replacement glazed timber door with tooled block-and-start stone surround, approached by flight of limestone steps. Roughcast render to outbuildings with slate roof. Remaining cobbles to yard. Wrought-iron railings and gates with cast-iron gate posts to east. House bounded to road side by random coursed wall, square-profiled cut stone piers with cap stone and cast-iron gates.
Appraisal
A good example of an early nineteenth century Glebe house, retaining original features such as multiple-paned timber sash windows etc. The façade of the building is enlivened by the projecting porch, approached by an attractive flight of limestone steps. The setting is further enhanced by wrought and cast-iron gates and railings.
