Description

The Old Rectory is a former vicarage, now a private house, built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of gault brick and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and a facade with three bays, where the central bay projects slightly. This central bay contains a pilastered doorcase with a flat entablature supported by moulded consoles, and a panelled door beneath a rectangular light. There is one sash window on either side of the door, and three identical sash windows on the first floor, all with glazing bars and flat finely gauged heads. The eaves project and are supported by paired modillions. The hipped roof has a central stack. The south front mirrors the facade but has a window in place of the door. The north return features blind windows leading to a double pile rear range, which is also two storeys high and has early 19th-century casement windows. At the back, there are stables that have been converted into garages, made of red brick, forming one side of the rear court, which is enclosed by single-storey utility rooms under hipped slate roofs.
