Description

The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, built around 1820 with a later 19th-century rear wing. It features red brick with pale headers and ashlar dressings, topped by a hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and four brick wall stacks. The building has a two-storey, three-bay front with a central six-panelled door, flanked by single glazing bar sashes. The ground floor openings have cambered ashlar lintels with keyblocks. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sashes set into the eaves. The three-bay side front is similar but includes a central French window. Inside, the property retains a stick baluster stair with a wreathed handrail and an oval skylight with a glazed dome above the stairwell, along with plaster cornices in the principal rooms.
