Description

The Old Rectory is a house dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, constructed of brick and rendered brick, with roofs made of pantile and slate. The south elevation, which is from the 18th century, features three bays and two storeys, now rendered and scored to imitate ashlar. The ground floor has 20th-century casement windows, while the first floor retains 18th-century leaded casements. There are two 20th-century attic dormers and a kneelered parapet gable with pantiles.

To the east, there is a mid-19th century range of two bays and two storeys, built of gault brick, featuring 20th-century sash windows with glazing bars, one of which has a lowered sill. A 20th-century porch is located on the east face, and the building has a hipped slate roof. The 19th-century extensions at the rear are of no special interest. The Old Rectory is included for its group value.
