Description
The Old Rectory is a parsonage that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 18th century and has later additions. The building is constructed of red brick and features a hipped plain tile roof with brick ridge stacks. It has a roughly U-shaped plan, with its main facade facing south-west and aligned north-west to south-east.
The structure is two storeys tall with an attic and has a five-window front. The windows are glazing bar sashes with horns and raised keystones. There is a central panelled door with a rectangular overlight that has patterned glazing bars. The attic features three dormers with glazing bar casements and hipped roofs. On the right-hand (south-east) side, there is a first-floor band and two bays of casement windows with segmental heads. Additionally, there is a 19th-century rear extension wing on the right side.
The interior has not been inspected.
