Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a private house. It dates back to the 1630s, with alterations and a rear refacing in the 18th century. The building is timber framed with rendered wattle and daub on the front and brick at the rear. It features roofs covered with black glazed pan tiles and has a modified T-shaped plan. The structure is two storeys high, with a central early 19th-century brick entrance bay that is gabled back to the main roof. The entrance includes a door in a fluted case situated below a sash window with glazing bars. The facade is enhanced with applied plastering and false timber framing that corresponds to the genuine framing behind it. There are 2 and 3-light cross casements from the 19th century. The cross wings are gabled to the east and west, with the eastern wing featuring early 19th-century casement windows. The main gabled roof has three rebuilt ridge stacks, and the main west gable is made of brick with tumbling. The two-storey rear wing from the 18th century has a hipped roof. On the ground floor, there is a large early 19th-century tripartite sash window, with another sash window above, both of which have glazing bars.
