Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in the late 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick and features a machine tile roof with end stacks. The building has three storeys and a five-window front, which includes flush-framed glazing bar sashes that have segmental heads. The top floor has reduced proportions and is blind. There is a central entrance with a six-panel door and a rectangular overlight, which is sheltered by a late 19th-century gabled timber porch.
