The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, dating from the 16th century, with alterations in the 18th century and extensions in the 19th century. It has a substantial timber-framed construction, partly covered in pebbledash render and partly in red brick, with 19th-century blocks made of gault brick. The roofs are covered with clay tiles.

The original building has a two-storey T-plan, with a two-storey parallel gabled block added in the northern angle during the 19th century. On the east elevation, the left-hand gable features a two-light casement window with glazing bars beneath a cambered tread on the ground floor. The first floor has a round-headed sash window with glazing bars, flanked by two smaller sash windows under cambered heads. The right-hand block has a first-floor jetty with a moulded fascia board. The ground floor includes a 20th-century French window with glazing bars, while the first floor has two two-light leaded casements. There is a lean-to porch within the angle of the building. The other elevations display a variety of casement and sash windows. Supporting the original blocks are three external brick chimney stacks, with two on the south elevation and one on the north gable, which is notably substantial.
