Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating from the 18th century, built on the site of an earlier 17th-century structure. It is constructed of painted brick, with a plain tile roof and brick ridge stacks. The main rectangular range is aligned north-west to south-east, with a 3-cell baffle entry plan. A two-cell extension is set to the north-west, aligned in the same direction, and a rear wing extends to the south-east, also aligned north-east to south-west. The front elevation has three windows, with glazing bar sash windows and a casement on the ground floor to the right. A 19th or 20th-century porch with a hipped roof sits to the right of the centre, leading to a half-glazed door. A lower, two-storey, two-bay extension is on the right side, featuring casement windows and a half-glazed door. Inside, the house retains exposed square panel timber framing and chamfered ceiling beams. There is also reused early 18th-century wall panelling, two large open fireplaces with timber bresumers, and an ovolo moulded spine beam in a wing to the rear.
