19th century former rectory designed by well known local architect E. Swinfen Harris. Brick, two and and a half storeys with steeply pitched tiled roof and prominent chimney. Irregular fenestration with stone dressings. Due to scale and situation close to the church it is a visually prominent building which makes a strong architectural statement and positive contribution to the character and appearance of the village. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Maids Moreton (B1).
