Description
The former coach house and stable block at The Old Rectory dates from the late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with slate roofs and features a brick end stack. The buildings are arranged around three sides of a courtyard, while the fourth side to the west is enclosed by a wall that has a central carriage entrance flanked by square gate piers.
The north range serves as a stable and is a single storey with a hay-loft. It has three bays, with the two outer windows being cast-iron casements that include Gothick glazing bars. There is a central segmental arch that provides access to a recess containing a boarded door to the loft, with a cast-iron glazing bar casement to the right. The central gable features a boarded loft door.
The east range consists of two parts. The left side includes a recessed coach house and stable, both single storey. To the right, there is a segmental carriage arch, with two boarded doors and a window with boarded shutters to the left, all featuring segmental heads. The right-hand coach house is also a single storey and has two bays with keyed segmental carriage arches.
In the south range, there is a single-storey stable on the left, which has a segmental-headed boarded door and a cast-iron casement with Gothick glazing bars and a semi-circular head. An outhouse is located to the right.
