Description

The Old Rectory is a building dating from the 17th century or earlier. It features a timber frame and an old tiled roof, with a later 19th century red brick entrance front and garden front that form an L shape. The roof is covered with Welsh slate. The building has two storeys and includes 19th century casement windows with wooden mullions. The back elevation is tile-hung and also has casement windows with glazing bars. Notably, the first floor of the entrance front overhangs on the right side.
