GV II

Rectory. Circa early C17 or earlier origins, extended in the circa early C19.
Whitewashed and rendered with slate roofs, hipped to the C19 range, gabled at the end
of the C17 wing; lateral and end stack to wing, end stacks to C19 range.
The rear wing probably represents part of a 3 room and passage range, which may have
been used as a service wing when the house was extended in the early C19 by the
addition of a symmetrical 2-room plan block with a principal front room on either
side of an entrance hall which probably contains the stairs. L-plan.
2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front elevation with sash windows and a flat-roofed
central porch with Doric columns. 6-panel door in doorcase with panelled soffit and
reeded jambs. Sash window above porch 12-pane, others 16-pane. The rear right wing
appears to be in 2 phases (altered roofline) 1 first floor 3-light window with 4-
centred arches and square-leaded panes.
No access to interior at time of survey (1985) but 1949 list description refers to a
stair with oak treads, turned balusters and square newels and some incomplete cornice
mouldings. Rear wing said to have barrel roof, some original joinery and chimney
pieces to early C19 range.
The later of the 2 ranges appears to be largely intact and there may be features of
interest in the interior of the rear wing as well as the front.
