Knapped flints with brick dressings, brick plinth, clay tiles to front elevation, slate to rear, coped verges, boxed eaves, brick stacks gable ends. L-plan: 2-cell and cross passage with service wing to rear. Two storeys plus attic, 5-bays; 2 inserted flat-roofed dormers, all other windows 12-pane sashes with horns, first floor tripartite sash windows in second and fourth bays, brick quoins to window openings, those of the larger opening renewed in yellow stock bricks, intermittant 5-course brick string, centrally placed tablet inscribed with the date 1724 and initials 'R(obert) M(itchell) Esq', ground floor similar fenestration with segmental heads to openings of tripartite sash windows, central 6-panel door, flat-roofed porch carried on renewed shaped brackets. Left gable end bread oven projection. Walls: flint and brick, brick piers and fine pair of wrought-iron double gates to garage entrance. Interior: altered early-mid C20. Through-passage blocked by insertion of wc, room to left with wooden bolection-moulded fireplace surround and arched-head recess to left of fireplace. Room to right with another C18 bolection-moulded surround fronting a large, blocked bressumer beam fireplace, narrow plank and muntin panelling to room, without cornice or plinth, of early C20 date, similar in bedroom above with cupboards and vernacular-style door furniture. Flat beam with scroll stops and round arched opening throught to service wing; srmains of C18 plank door to brick-lined cellar. First floor stud partition in front range; rearwing, 3 bay arcade to bathroom with imported fluted columns and remains of 1930s decoration, flat chamfered beams with scroll stops in southern half buried in partition wall, unmoulded beam to mrothern half; A-frame roof with remains of 3 tiers of purlins; front range roof boxed-in. The building has undergone many alterations and it is difficult to ascertain whether the date of 1724 relates to its erection or to the refurbishment of a C17 building; the front range and wing appear to be coeval. This building is believed to have been the manor house of Denton and was latterly the rectory; it was sold by the Church Commissioners in the 1960s.
