Description
The Old Rectory, now a house, was built in 1847 and is likely designed by G G Place of Nottingham, who also designed the nearby Church of St John. The building features coursed squared stone, ashlar, and red brick, with ashlar dressings and steep pitched slate roofs. It is designed in the Tudor Revival style, characterized by quoins and coped gables. The main block has decorative ridge tiles and a gable stack.
The structure is two storeys high with a three-window range. The windows are primarily 19th-century casements with stone surrounds and chamfered mullions. The entrance front displays two gabled through-eaves dormers with three-light cross casements, and between them is a lower two-light mullioned window. Below this window is a smaller similar window, flanked on the left by a segment-headed board door with strap hinges and a mullioned overlight. There is also a shouldered external side wall stack beyond the door, and to the right, a three-light cross casement. The left-facing gable, made of ashlar, has a three-light cross casement on each floor, with the lower one being larger, likely provided by the Brownlow family of Belton House, similar to the church.
