Description
The Old Rectory, originally a rectory and now a house, dates to the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a slate roof and lead flashings. The front facade is symmetrical and divided into five bays. A slightly projecting central bay features a flat-roofed porch with Roman Doric columns and pilaster responds. The porch contains a half-glazed door. Either side of the porch are sash windows with 3 x 4 panes, stone sills, and cement wedge lintels featuring raised keystones. Five similar sash windows are located on the first floor. A moulded cornice runs along the eaves, and a pediment sits above the central bay.
