Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the 17th century and modernised in the 19th century. The ground floor is made of brick, while the first floor is rough cast and colour washed. Some timber framing is exposed on the west elevation, but it is mostly concealed by 19th-century alterations. The roof is covered with old clay tiles. The building has a T-plan layout, featuring a cross-wing to the north and one-storey lean-to extensions on the north and west elevations. It stands two storeys high. There are some 2-light horizontal sash windows on the west, north, and east elevations, while the other windows are 20th-century casements. The main block has a red brick ridge stack with four flues, and there are double external stacks projecting from both the west elevation and the north elevation of the south wing.
