The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into two houses, built in 1723 and altered in the early 19th century and 20th century. It features red brick and render construction with a plain tile roof, and has two rendered gable stacks. The gables are brick coped with kneelers and are now rendered. A wooden cornice with decorative pendants and a first-floor band are notable features. The building has a double depth plan, is two storeys plus a garret high, and consists of five bays.

The ground floor front is encased in 20th-century red brick, while the first floor retains its render. A gabled brick and slate porch has a single glazing bar sash window at the front and a doorway on the right wall with a panelled door. To the left of the porch is another doorway with a panelled door and overlight, and further left is a low glazing bar sash. On the right side, there are two similar sashes, all of which are set under segmental arches. The first floor has five glazing bar sashes, with a small pivotal glazing bar casement located to the right of the third sash.

Attached to the left is a similar two-storey, single-bay wing with a hipped slate roof. This wing features a single segmental arched low glazing bar sash and a single blind recessed panel above. To the right is a single-storey, single-bay late 20th-century red brick wing, which includes a single glazing bar fixed light with a wooden panel underneath.

At the rear, there is an early 19th-century bow window set on a plinth with a conical roof and a single tripartite glazing bar sash. To the right of this window is a lean-to, with two glazing bar sashes further right. Above the lean-to, there is a single glazing bar cross casement, with a small glazing bar casement to the right and another similar casement on the far left. Above these is another single cross casement, which lights the staircase.

The west wall features a lead downpipe with decorated brackets, said to represent the emblem of the Stanhope family, and a rainwater head dated 1723. Inside, there is a dogleg staircase with turned balusters and a stone flagged floor in the hall. The building is included for its group value only.
