The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house, formerly a rectory, built in the 18th century and extended in the late 1840s when it became the rectory. It is constructed of whitewashed brick and has two storeys. The main section features a three-window block with a hipped slate roof and long sash windows set in rectangular frames with sills. There is a stucco band between the storeys and boxed eaves.

To the right, another three-window block projects forward, containing five old sash windows and one modern casement, all with horizontal proportions under segmental arches and with sills. This section also has boxed eaves and a projecting chimneystack. A covered passage leads from a door in the internal angle between the two blocks to the street door, which is set in a pilastered brick doorway within a curved brick wall. The building represents an elegant early Victorian rectory formed by the extension of the original L-shaped 18th-century house when the previous rectory became Hunsdonbury in the late 1840s.
