Description
The Old Rectory is a house, formerly a rectory, built around 1830. It features Flemish bond buff brick with a string course on the main block and a brick dentil cornice throughout. The building has old tile hipped roofs, while the rear service wing has a slate roof and brick ridge stacks. It is designed in a late Georgian style and has a U-plan layout, with service wings on the left return side.
The house is two storeys high with a two-window range, and a lower three-window service wing to the left. A large painted wood Greek Doric porch, with Soanian incised decoration on the antae and pilasters, features a heavy entablature. The entrance has a half-glazed flush four-panelled door with sidelights that have horizontal glazing bars and a lattice glazed overlight, all framed in a moulded and reeded wood architrave with roundels. The sashes to the left and above have gauged brick flat arches. The service wing has a late 19th-century addition to the left, while the ground floor has two two-light casements and the first floor has horizontal sashes, with glazing bars and brick segmental arches throughout.
The symmetrical right return side facing the garden has a two-window arrangement with large 15-pane sashes on the ground floor, while the rear of the building is irregular. Inside, the entrance hall features a renewed straight flight and winder staircase with scrolled open string and stick balusters, a mid-19th-century encaustic tile floor, and a large dentil cornice. The interior also includes moulded four-panelled doors set in moulded and reeded architraves with corner roundels.
