Description
The Old Rectory is a 18th-century building with an earlier core. It features a red brick and stucco east facade topped with black-glazed pantiles, while the rear elevations are partly rendered in flint and brick, also with red pantiles. The structure has parapetted gables and chimneys, standing two storeys high with an attic. The facade consists of five bays, with the central bay advanced and showcasing a stuccoed door surround, an elliptical pediment, and a fanlight. There is a moulded brick string course and a central gabled dormer with a sash window. The eaves cornice is notable, along with a doorcase that has panelled reveals on the south facade. At the rear, there is a gabled wing that is also two storeys high with attics, featuring two flat-roofed dormers with sashes and brick dentil eaves.
