Description
The Old Rectory is a late 18th-century house of three storeys and three bays, with a two-storey mid-19th century wing attached to the right and a two-storey 18th-century service wing to the left. The house is constructed of brick and has a pantile roof. The design follows an A-bay system.
The ground floor has a sash window in the outer bay and two windows in the central bay, all with glazing bars and cambered arches. A mid-19th century porch is situated in the left bay. The first and second floors feature sash windows with glazing bars to the outer bays, while the central bay has round-headed, single-light windows with a central keystone to the first-floor window, and round-headed arches above the other windows. A brick dentil cornice runs around the building, interrupted by a pediment in the centre, which contains a mid-19th century brick oculus and brackets with stone finials and balls. The shallow, hipped roof has four eaves stacks and two off-ridge stacks placed off-centre. The cornice is repeated on the mid-19th century wing. The interior contains 19th-century reception rooms.
