Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, built around 1850 by A Perkins. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. This large house is designed in the Jacobean style, featuring a balanced asymmetrical layout and a complex gabled roofline, with slightly later Dutch gables and four massive chimney stacks with grouped shafts. The building has two storeys and an attic, with mainly multi-light mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor and 2-light mullioned windows on the first floor, along with single light openings in the attic. The entrance elevation consists of three bays with projecting Dutch gable ends. The central bay features a 6-light vertical window with a single mullion and two transoms, although the two central lights are blocked. Above this window is a carved heraldic crest set within a square niche, and there is an arched doorway in the left gable end.
