Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with additions from the 19th century. It is constructed of brick and stone, now rendered, and has twin-span slate roofs. The roofs have coped gables with kneelers, and there are four gable stacks. The house has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic.
The north front has a moulded band at the first floor level. Quoins are visible on the left side. A central doorway is reached by four steps and features a six-panel door with an overlight, set within a 19th-century doorcase with a flat hood. To the right of the doorway is a single glazing-bar sash window with a cambered arch. Above this, there is a louvred attic window. To the left of the doorway, two two-light casement windows incorporate mullions and transoms, each with a flat arch. Above these, three glazing-bar sash windows are set within flat arches. Above these again, three hipped-roof dormers contain two-light casement windows. To the left is a late 19th-century two-bay extension. To the right is a three-bay extension dated 1834, forming part of “The White House”.
