Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory with origins in the 18th century, but it was largely built around 1870. The building features Flemish bond brick with a sandstone plinth, and the central and left sections are made of sandstone ashlar. It has a moulded stone cornice throughout and an old plain-tile roof with ridge cresting. The right end is constructed of red and blue brick and has ridge stacks with tumbling and dogtooth cornices.
This High Victorian Gothic style building has an irregular cross plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic, comprising a three-window range. The tall gabled central section rises above the main roof. The windows are chamfered and have mullions with plate glass sashes. On the ground floor, there are paired three-light windows, with two-light windows above, and the gable features paired segmental-painted lancets. A moulded string course continues as the cornice of the projecting ground floor, which has a five-light window and a three-light window above. The right side has three-light windows with narrower brick segmental arches above. There is a small square window between floors in the angle. Hipped dormers on the left and right ranges have two-light casements.
On the right return side, there is a subsidiary gabled range with a polychrome brick chamfered Gothic arched doorway, featuring part-glazed six-panelled double-leaf doors. Above this doorway, a two-light window has a relieving arch with basket-weave brickwork and a cross in blue brick. The interior has not been inspected. The Old Rectory is included for its group value.
