Description
The Old Rectory is a house with origins in the 17th century, substantially remodelled in the earlier 19th century. It was originally a rectory. The front of the building is colourwashed plaster render, while the other elevations are of colourwashed brick. The roof is tiled and has a double-pile plan with a 2-span roof. The house is two storeys and has attics, with various one and two-storeyed additions to the side and rear.
The front (south) elevation features two two-storey bows, each containing two windows per floor. These flank a central doorway with French windows, surmounted by a first-floor window. All windows are sash windows with glazing bars in deep reveals. Three box dormers, each with a two-light casement and glazing bars, are in the attic. An integral chimney stack is visible on the left-hand gable.
The rear elevation has a narrow two-storey and attic staircase gable in the centre of the main block, along with a 19th-century single-storey addition along the entire elevation. The ground and first floors have sash windows with glazing bars. The attic has two box dormers with casements, and the gable attic has a single casement with glazing bars.
Inside, a mid-18th century staircase with turned balusters is a notable feature.
