Stables At Old Rectory

The stables at the Old Rectory are a stable block, likely built in the mid-18th century, with some later alterations. The structure is made of red brick and features rusticated angle quoins and plain tiled hipped roofs. It has an 'L'-shaped plan and consists of two levels. The façade includes a pattern of windows arranged as 1:3:1, with the central portion recessed. The windows are multi-paned cast-iron casements set under gauged heads. A central round-arched doorway, which has a raised keystone and rusticated pilasters, is flanked by a later inserted doorway to the left and two 18th-century doorways (one of which is now blocked) on the inner sides of the projecting wings. There is a wide entrance for garages that spans the entire width of the left-hand projection.

At the rear, there is a long range also on two levels, with the right-hand end converted into domestic accommodation. It features a blocked cambered entrance arch at the center and tallet steps at the angle with the front range. The eaves cornice is toothed, and the verges are coped on stone kneelers at the right-hand gable end. The back of the building has three irregularly spaced X-shaped perforated ventilators. Inside, the right-hand wing retains three 19th-century stable boxes, and there is a loft in the center with a king post roof supported by three bays.
