Description
66 Rectory Road is a house dating from around 1700, which has been altered in the late 19th century in a Tudor Revival style and extended in the 20th century. The building is timber framed with some exposed imitation framing, roughcast rendered, and has a roof covered with handmade red plain tiles. It has three bays aligned east-west, with the gable end facing the road and a central stack.
To the north, there are late 19th and 20th century single-storey extensions that create an irregular T-plan, along with a 20th-century porch extension at the northwest corner. The house is two storeys high. On the west elevation facing Rectory Road, the ground floor features two 19th-century casements with 6 and 9 lights respectively, while the first floor has a 19th-century square oriel window with a configuration of 3-9-3 lights and a hipped roof. The imitation framing displays a straight geometrical pattern, with fretted bargeboards that include a carved finial and pendant, all from the 19th century.
On the south elevation, the ground floor has two 19th-century square bays of casements with 3-9-3 lights and hipped roofs, while the first floor has two 19th-century casements with 6 lights and one 20th-century casement. There is a 20th-century door and a plain stack. Inside, there are two chamfered transverse beams with lamb's tongue stops, and the joists are plastered to the soffits. The central stack has two 20th-century grates, and there is one internal tiebeam that is boxed in. The north wallplate features a face-halved and bladed scarf joint. Although much of the frame is concealed by internal and external plaster, there are signs that the walls have been raised by approximately 1.5 metres. The main range is only shown on the tithe map of 1839, held at the Essex Record Office. The external architectural style is similar to that of several other houses in Stisted, particularly along The Street, which were developed for Onley Savill Onley between 1860 and 1880.
