Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory from the 18th century that was extended around 1800 and is now a private house. It is constructed from gault brick and stucco, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The original 18th-century structure is two storeys high with attics and features an axial chimney stack, aligned approximately northeast to southwest. The Gothick-style extensions added around 1800 include two storeys to the northeast and west, and a single storey to the northwest. An internal chimney stack is located in the northeast wall.
On the southeast garden elevation, the ground floor has a French window and a bay with three 20th-century double-hung sash windows, along with two early 19th-century double-hung sash windows that contain some crown glass. The first floor features two 20th-century double-hung sash windows, a bay with three early 19th-century double-hung sash windows, and two additional windows with some crown glass. The roof on the southwest side includes three hipped dormers. The Gothick extension to the northeast is characterized by a crenellated parapet with octagonal corner towers, as well as drip moulding and label mouldings above the windows. Some smoke-blackened medieval rafters have been reused in the roof of the southwest block, and the southwest chimney stack is partly made of reused 16th-century bricks mixed with later bricks, which are exposed in the ground floor room on the southwest side.
