Description
The Old Rectory is a brick building, originally constructed in the early 18th century and remodelled in the early 19th century, and now used as offices. The east facade has two storeys and three bays, with the central bay projecting forward and topped by a pediment. A gabled porch with glazed doors protects the main entrance. Windows are sash windows with glazing bars, each set beneath a gauged skewback arch. A platband runs along the first floor. The south front features a two-storey bow window with curved sashes and gauged skewback arches. The north front retains some brick diaper decoration. The roof is hipped. The interior contains a stick baluster staircase with a ramped and wreathed handrail.
