Appraisal
This former rectory is characterised by a number of features typical of the Victorian Gothic Revival style, including an irregular plan and varied roofline with steep pitches. The porch is particularly notable for its design and stained glass overlight. The building retains many noteworthy features including timber bargeboards and timber sash windows, and forms part of an excellent group with St Peter's Church to the north.
