Description

The Old Rectory and Rectory Cottage is a building that has been divided into two houses. It was mainly constructed around 1830 but includes parts of a late 18th century house. The structure is made of rendered brick and features plain tile roofs with coped stone verges, as well as ridge and end stacks topped with terracotta pots. The oldest section is the long, low range known as Rectory Cottage, while the taller multi-gabled range, The Old Rectory, is located to the south.

The building is two storeys high; the lower range has a projecting gable to the right of the centre and consists of four bays, two bays, and one bay. The windows are a mix of original cast-iron Gothic casements and 20th-century casements. The taller range also features Gothic casements with labels, including one on each floor to the left and one above a prominent gabled entrance porch that has a nail-studded door. There is a set-back range to the right and a three-window canted bay on the ground floor to the left return, which is topped with an embattled parapet. The interior has not been inspected.
