Description
The Old Rectory is a house that consists of two sections built in the late 18th century and mid-19th century, with the rear range dated 1760 on its north gable. It is constructed of red brick, featuring a flint plinth on the earlier wing, and has pantiled roofs with black glazed tiles on the front elevation. The building has an H-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall.
The principal facade has five bays, with sash windows that include glazing bars and rubbed brick arches above the openings. The central entrance features a simple wooden doorcase and a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars, leading to a six-panel door. There is a wooden eaves cornice, and the gables are parapeted with internal chimney stacks.
Connecting the two main sections is a two-storey link block that has sash windows and 20th-century casements, along with a moulded brick eaves course. The lower two-storey rear wing, also dated 1760, has two and three-light casements, some of which have leaded glazing. This wing features two plain brick pilasters, moulded brick eaves on the west side, and parapeted and coped gables with brick tumbling. Gable chimney stacks are present, along with plat bands on the gables and at the first-floor level on the west facade. A lean-to structure is located at the south gable.
