Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory dating from the mid- to late 18th century, with additions from the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted brick with a double-pitched slate roof and a tile ridge. The house is rectangular and consists of two blocks, and is three windows wide. The front block has a plain band to the first floor, a stone plinth to the rear, and stone-capped gable parapets. A projecting gable-end stack is cut back to the roof line and covered with slate. The windows on the front are renewed and feature painted simulated cills. Side windows are timber near-flush casements, and new sash windows with glazing bars. The central front door is in a doorcase with fielded panels, beneath a small flat canopy supported by moulded brackets. The door itself has four fielded panels, and is accessed by stone steps between side plinths. The rear block has recessed sashes and casements, as well as ground floor French windows, all with glazing bars. A window in the east wing features leaded panes with Gothic heads. The interior of the front block includes a Gothic-headed door on the first floor, and broad two-panel doors on the ground floor. The rear block has door and window cases with fluted mouldings and corner floral bosses, as well as a cornice with similar corner motifs. Six-panel doors are also present.
