Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly used as a rectory and is now divided into flats. It dates from the mid-18th century, with a 19th-century front and a service wing at the rear. The building is constructed of soft red brick and gault brick, featuring a shallow pitch, hipped slate roof with deep, plastered eaves. It has a T-plan layout that includes a stair turret in the rear range. The structure has a basement, two storeys, and attics. The windows consist of ranges of four hung sashes with glazing bars, which have sills and cambered arches. There are half-round cast-iron balconettes on the second storey, a stone band between the first and second floors, and a main cornice between the second and attic floors. The entrance is located on the north side. Inside, there is a notable mid-18th-century closed string staircase with five flights and turned balusters.
