Summary

Constructed between 1860 and 1880 for Dr Rackham as a house and surgery, this is a fine two storey red brick building with a façade of three window bays, the outer bays projecting as three-sided bay windows. The central doorway is under an ornate iron balcony. The integral surgery was later moved to the adjacent coach house and stables, but the back door of the house still has 'Doctor' inscribed above it.
