Description

The Old Rectory is a house with origins dating back to the 16th or 17th century, featuring later alterations and additions. It is constructed with a timber frame and plaster, with some areas faced in painted brick. The building has a large hipped roof covered in red tiles and a full-height central gabled dormer that includes 19th-century casement windows. There are red brick chimney stacks on both the right and left sides. The house is two storeys tall with attics and has a central band.

The first floor has a range of five windows, while the ground floor has four windows, all of which are small paned vertically sliding sashes, except for the central window on the first floor, which consists of three lights. A central gabled open porch, also covered in red tiles, is supported by timber posts and features a vertically boarded door with a small paned top light. To the left of the main house are two attached single-storey ranges; the one on the right has double vertically boarded doors and a recessed four-panelled door. There is a Sun Insurance plaque on the left return of the building. Inside, there are chamfered bridging joists in the rear range, and an ogee moulding can be found on a bridging joist from the 14th or 15th century in the right ground floor room, which may not be in its original position.
