Description
The Old Rectory is an early 18th-century building with an L-shaped plan, featuring a wing that was enclosed on the north and east sides by additional wings added in the 1830s. Constructed of brick with tiled roofs, it has tall brick stacks set diagonally and stands two storeys high with an attic. The earlier wing displays a three-window front with wooden mullioned casements that have pointed leaded lights, along with a central six-panelled door, all topped with segmental heads. The east front is designed in a Gothic style, showcasing an advanced gabled bay at the centre, flanked by tiered stone mullioned bay windows with embattled parapets. It features bold eaves with ornamental fascia and buttresses at the ends. The north side includes four two-light mullioned windows with plain stone hood moulds. The site was originally moated.
