Description
The Old Rectory is a house located on High Street in Great Easton, dating from the late 17th century to the 18th century, with an extension added in 1868. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone, featuring quoins and stone dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof that has parapets and moulded stone end stacks. It displays moulded string courses and stone-coped gables.
The house has three storeys, with the second floor featuring two 4-light painted stone mullion windows and two 3-light windows. On the ground floor, there is a prominent 5-light canted stone mullion and transom bay, flanked by a similar 2-light window. To the right, a two-storey extension includes a 2-light window above the door on the left and a 4-light window on both floors to the right. The stone doorway is notable for its 4-centred arch and a 2-light overlight above.
