The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in 1863 by R J Withers. It is constructed of red brick, with some areas of burnt brick and limestone ashlar dressings. The building features slate roofs with stone coped gables topped with wrought iron finials, and has six brick stacks that display dentillated decoration, including one that projects and five located at the rear.

The structure is two stories tall and has a five-bay front. To the left, there is a large polygonal two-story, three-bay window topped with a conical roof. The doorway to the right has a pointed ashlar head with an inner chevroned order and moulded brick jambs. There is an inner doorway in the left return that also features a pointed ashlar head and a panelled door.

To the left, a tall pointed archway extends up two stories and contains two small ground floor casements. There is a bay window on the left with three glazing bar sashes, each topped with triangular ashlar heads that have billet moulding. Above this, a similar window is flanked by blank brick walls of canted bays.

On the right, a giant order archway contains two narrow pointed windows on the first floor, which have richly cusped heads, and an inverted triangular motif above. There is also a pointed window to the right with two pointed lights, narrow glazing bar sashes, and an ashlar head featuring a cusped oculus inscribed "GB 1863".

The west front has four bays, with the two bays on the left projecting slightly. It includes three long glazing bar sashes with pointed ashlar heads, a pair of narrow glazing bar sashes with pointed ashlar heads to the left, and three small glazing bar sashes above to the right, along with a pair of narrow glazing bar sashes to the left, all featuring pointed ashlar heads and hood moulds.
