Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone alterations in 1828 and 1840, with some minor changes in the 20th century. The building is constructed of limestone and red brick, featuring a hipped slate roof and two brick ridge stacks.
It has two storeys and a three-bay front with overhanging eaves. The entrance consists of a five-panelled door with sidelights and a triangular hood above. There is a 20th-century segmental portico hood on brackets with a dentillated cornice supported by side piers. The ground floor is flanked by tall glazing bar sash windows, while the first floor has three glazing bar sash windows, all with segmental brick heads.
To the left, there is a three-bay brick hipped wing that features central French windows flanked by glazing bar sashes, with two similar sashes on the first floor. On the right side, there is a canted bay window with pilasters, glazing bar sashes, a dentillated top, and Greek key panels beneath. The house is depicted in the Banks drawings collection. The alterations made in 1840, including the left-hand wing, were designed by architect Wilson and commissioned by Mr. F. Robinson, a farmer.
