Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a house. It was built before 1840, likely for Reverend Charles Maxwell, who served as rector from 1836 to 1889. A rear extension was added in the late 19th century, but before 1895. The building is constructed of white brick and features decorative white bargeboards and steep red tile roofs that are banded with scalloped tiles.
This symmetrical two-storey Gothic-style rectory faces east and has a regular rear extension. The front elevation includes twin gable ends with bargeboards, a narrow recessed center, and a projecting bargeboarded gabled porch that is single-storey. The windows are square-headed and chamfered, with tall margin-light recessed wooden casements. The ground floor windows are transomed and have moulded stucco labels.
The front door is framed and battened, situated under a pointed fanlight with tracery, and is accessed through an open porch that features a chamfered Tudor arched entrance and small side windows. The south side has a matching bargeboarded gable, while the north side has a plain gable with simple rectangular beaded casements. The south face of the rear extension includes a large projecting bay that is square on the ground floor but transitions to an octagonal shape with a pyramidal roof above. The building is topped with tall chimneys that have paired octagonal shafts.
