Description

The Old Rectory is a building that originally served as a rectory, now divided into three separate living spaces. It dates back to the 17th century, with a western wing constructed during that period, followed by an 18th-century addition to the east, and further additions made in the early 20th century. The building is constructed from brick, sandstone, and stucco, with tiled roofs and brick chimneys. The roughly rectangular structure is two storeys high with attics. The south-east elevation has six windows. Three glazing bar sash windows are present in the 18th-century brick section, accompanied by two gabled dormers containing 19th-century casement windows. The right wing features a gable with two-storey bay windows dating from around 1900. The left-hand 18th-century sandstone gable includes a glazing bar sash window on the ground floor and a 19th-century casement window on the first floor. Two glazing bar sash windows with segmental heads are found beneath an early 20th-century addition to the left. A glazed central porch, added in the late 20th century, contains a 6-panelled 18th-century door on the right and a late 20th-century door on the left. It is of group value, contributing to the character of its surroundings.
