Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the mid-18th century and early 19th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in an irregular, mostly stretcher bond pattern, topped with a Swithland slate roof and a 20th-century bland pantile roof, featuring brick end and ridge stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. The left end bay is lower and dates from the 18th century, featuring a canted bay window from around 1900 and two 20th-century two-light windows above it, all under a hipped roof. The two bays to the right are higher and have a Swithland slate roof, with a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor and small 12-pane sashes on the first floor, all with cemented lintels. There is a wing at the rear left of the building.
