Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory house built in the late 18th century and later. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped roof covered with smut pantiles. The building has two storeys and attics, arranged in a double pile. The south facade consists of eight irregular bays, with sash windows that have glazing bars and gauged brick arches over the openings.
There is a projecting two-storey canted entrance bay located off-centre to the west, which has a stone door surround and a flat lead-covered canopy supported by console brackets. Above the entrance, there is an oval stone panel featuring arms and the inscription "MANNERS MAKYTH MAN." The south-east corner of the building has a square flat-roofed two-storey bay. A wooden eaves cornice runs along the roofline, which also features three 20th-century gabled dormers.
The chimney stacks are square and made of red brick, with moulded bands and caps; one is located on the ridge line and another between the blocks. The east elevation, which faces the churchyard, includes two and three-light casements with a transom and a pedimented dormer with a two-light casement. The gable end to the north has an internal chimney stack.
