Description

The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a private house. It dates from the 18th century or earlier and was extended to the east in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of white painted brick and features old red tile roofs, with a hipped roof on the original block and a gabled projection at the southeast. The lower eastern extensions have a slated hipped roof.

The house is two storeys with attics and has a double-pile end-chimneys plan. It is a rectangular structure facing south, with the entrance now located at the north side. The northeast has lower extensions, and there is a projecting front gable on the right. The doorway is round-headed and situated in the angle of the building.

On the ground floor, there are large triple sash windows with segmental arches on both the left and right sides. The first floor features three vertically proportioned windows that now have wooden casements. A gabled dormer window with cusped bargeboards is present on the roof slope. A modillioned wooden cornice runs along the front eaves, while the west side has a toothed brick eaves course and two well-crafted 18th-century moulded rainwater heads.
