Description

House. Dating from circa 1700 with later additions, the Old Rectory is a brick building with a pantile roof. It has an irregular plan and the front, which is two storeys high and five bays wide, is divided into two parts. The earlier section, dating from circa 1700 and consisting of three bays, features a 19th-century brick porch to the central bay with a six-panel door, the top four panels glazed. Sash windows with glazing bars are set within rubbed and gauged brick arches, and a platband runs along the facade. A wooden dentil eaves cornice tops the building, and shaped gable ends are present, along with gable-end stacks featuring arched recesses. To the right of this range, the facade continues for two more bays, again with sash windows and glazing bars, and a wooden dentil eaves cornice. The pitch of this roof is shallower than the earlier section. At the rear, an outshut, likely from the early 19th century, has a shaped gable screen. A stair outshut with a shallow-pitched roof is also present. Inside, a bolection-moulded fireplace is found in an upper room.
