Description

The Old Rectory is a house dating to circa 1714. It is constructed of red brick with a hipped red plain tiled roof and four symmetrically placed red brick chimney stacks. The main block is two storeys with attics and a basement, with two-storey extensions to the right and left, the left extension incorporating a basement. There are five flat-headed dormers to the main block, topped by a parapet with a moulded cornice. A central band runs through the facade.

The window arrangement is 1:7:1 on the first floor, 1:6:1 on the ground floor, and 1:6:0 on the basement, with vertically sliding sash windows, all with gauged brick arches. First-floor windows on the extensions are blocked. Three steps lead up to the central panelled door, which has reveal panels, and is sheltered by a flat stone canopy supported by plain pilasters and Ionic columns, with a moulded frieze and dentilled cornice. The rear elevation features a large, central, two-storey bay with a pyramidal roof.
