Stanton Court East, formerly known as North Wing, was subsequently built in 1872 by the rector at the time, Bertrand Bouverie.

The light and airy accommodation extends in all to 1,556 sq.ft. Arranged principally over two floors with the addition of a second-floor bedroom suite in modern times.
At the heart of the ground floor there is a magnificent drawing room with large stone fireplace and multi-fuel burner inset. At the front, there is the kitchen, which was originally the scullery, a further reception room, utility room and separate WC. Off the drawing room, there is a useful, large under stairs store which has underfloor heating and a window therefore providing space for a home office. The upper floors comprise three double bedrooms all with modern en-suites. The master bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and a charming multi-fuel burning stove. The property has been well-maintained and includes new steel framed double glazed windows upkeeping with the original charm.
