Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The earlier sections are timber framed with red brick infill and have clay tile roofs, while the 19th-century sections are made of colourwashed brick with hipped slate roofs. The building has a complex plan and stands two storeys high.
The east elevation features a central block that slightly projects and is the oldest part of the structure. To the right is an 18th-century block, which has been extended to the right in red brick. The left side contains a 19th-century block. The windows throughout the building are all casements, with the central and 18th-century parts having leaded glass in a pointed-arched design. The outer blocks feature windows with glazing bars. The left block includes a canted bay on the ground floor.
The central block has a front door with six moulded panels, set in a moulded surround and topped with a flat hood. There is a brick buttress at the center of the central block, and various chimney stacks are present, including one at the junction of the central and left blocks and another on the 18th-century block.
