Substantial detached house, formerly the parsonage. Built 1849 for Rev J L Fulford, by John Hayward, Diocesion architect, incorporating material from the medieval tithe barn and parsonage. Snecked Salcombe Regis stone and sandstone, with some volcanite trap; 2-span gabled-end slate roof. Double depth plan house, with entrance hall flanked by reception rooms, the staircase occupying the left- hand section of the rear range. Left-hand external end stack; front and rear external lateral stacks towards right-hand end, each with paired off-sets. 2 storeys. Front: irregular 4-window range; all windows square-headed, the lights pointed and cusped, those to the 1st floor of 2- and 3-lights; ground floor with a paired set of 2-light windows to either side of entrance, and a 2-light window placed in external stack, all under hood moulds. Moulded arch to entrance. Left-hand end elevation: with 2-light pointed window with transom lighting stairwell, and a later single-light window to front range. Right-hand side elevation: two 3-light windows to 1st floor, with hood moulds; 3 uncusped windows to ground floor.

Slated leanto. Interior: contemporary joinery intact including panelled doors and dog-leg staircase; acanthus plaster cornice to main rooms. Some painted glass initials in head light tracery.
