The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a circa 1856 rectory, later adapted as a house, designed by G.E. Street. It is constructed of red brick with half-hipped plain tile roofs and features an irregular plan. The building is one and two storeys high, with an attic. It has five integral brick gable-end, integral lateral, and ridge stacks, the brickwork incorporating raked bands and stone coving to the caps. The windows are predominantly mid-19th century wooden mullioned and transomed.

The south front includes a projecting wing to the left. A first-floor cross-window sits above a ground-floor window with a pointed relieving arch and herringbone brickwork within a recessed tympanum. A boarded door is flanked by an elaborate wrought-iron strap hinge, chamfered lintel, and a bracketed gabled timber porch with a pierced segmental-arched canopy. The return front to the left features a semicircular staircase turret with a lancet window. The main range, set back to the right, has two- and three-light windows on the first floor, with a hipped dormer above. Two pairs of ground floor French casements also feature pointed relieving arches and herringbone brickwork within recessed tympana. A low wall and roofline along the wall of the house suggest the likely presence of a former lean-to conservatory in the angle to the left.

The east front demonstrates a wall surface of receding planes within the left-hand projecting wing. Three-light windows on each floor have pointed relieving arches with herringbone brickwork in the tympana. A small trefoil-headed light is incorporated into the tympanum of the first-floor window. The right-hand gable end has a projecting two-storey square bay with a three-light window, herringbone brick panels between floors, and a gable with planted timbers. A small gable to the left incorporates a two-light window and a half-glazed garden door with chamfered reveals, a four-part leaded overlight, and a bracketed lean-to porch. A large hipped dormer is situated at the rear. Additional wings are present, with a one-storey wing to the north and a two-storey wing to the west.

The interior was not inspected, but is noted to have boarded internal shutters with strap hinges.
