Description

The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly used as a rectory, built in 1843. It is constructed of grey gault brick, which is now painted, and features a low-pitched hipped slate roof with symmetrically placed internal stacks. The building has deep eaves cornices supported by scroll brackets. Its layout consists of a double pile with an adjoining wing for offices. The house has two storeys and includes a three-brick band between the levels.

The principal front displays flat arches over a symmetrical arrangement of three twelve-pane hung sash windows. There is an Ionic portico that leads to the central doorway, which is set in a round-headed arch and features a four-panelled door with radial glazing bars in the fanlight. The garden front has two similar hung sashes on either side of a larger stair window, and on the ground floor, there are two tripartite hung sashes flanking a smaller garden doorway, also in a round-headed arch. The original doorcase is preserved at the parish doorway in the office wing.

Inside, there is an original open-string staircase with curtail and scroll tread ends. A screen separates the incumbent's study from the parish room and the family area on the garden side.
