Description
The Old Rectory Barn is a mid 18th-century rectory barn that has been converted into a coach house. Originally a three-bay barn, it now includes a hay loft. The structure is built of red brick and features a pantiled roof. There are shallow piers on either side of a blocked entrance door on the south side. The barn has a brick plinth and corbelled eaves, with parapet gables that have platbands at the eaves level. The roof was replaced in the 19th century. To the south, there are single-storey attached outbuildings and a garden wall. This building is included for its group value context.
