Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in the early 18th century, with alterations made in the early and mid-19th century. It is constructed of brick and features painted stone quoins, broad stone bands above and below the upper windows on the front, and brick bands on the rear and sides. The front has a stone cornice beneath a steep pitched plain-tile roof, and the gables are topped with stone-coped brick parapets that were once surmounted by a bell turret. There is a stepped integral brick eaves stack at the rear.
The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The front facade consists of a two-storey, four-window arrangement with tall 9/9 broad-framed sash windows set in shallow reveals, all featuring gauged brick lintels. The entrance door, which has six panels, is located to the centre left and is sheltered by a projecting open slate-roofed trellis porch. At the west end of the house, there is a small single-storey addition made of stone rubble and brick.
On the left gable end and the rear, there are brick bands and brick segmental-arched openings on each floor, with wood mullion and transom windows. The left gable is partly covered by a small mid-19th century chapel that faces the rear garden and incorporates a blind ashlar arch with an ashlar roundel above it. The right gable features two attic casements with brick segmental-arched lintels. The interior has not been inspected.
