Former Rectory originally built in 1657 for the Rev Philip Henry by Judge Puleston of Emral Hall. Rev Henry was Rector of St Deiniol's Church and father of the Non-Conformist scholar Matthew Henry. Enlarged in the Tudor-Gothic style in 1833 but said to incorporate earlier elements. A private residence since 1990.

Square-headed openings have hood-moulds. Projecting two-storey porch to front elevation with 4-centred arch entrance. Paired yellow brick chimney stacks with moulded caps.
