Description
The Old Rectory is an 18th-century former rectory, now a private house. It is constructed of red brick with a hipped plain tile roof concealed behind an eaves parapet. The building has a T-shaped plan and two storeys. The south facade is symmetrical and comprises five bays with sashes featuring glazing bars, each set within a flat rubbed brick arch. A central doorway is framed by a Doric portico supported by two columns, leading to a six-panel door with two glazed upper panels and four lower flush panels, all beneath a moulded architrave. A platband runs along the first floor. A plain coped eaves parapet completes the south facade. Two-storey canted bays extend to the east and west. Two chimney stacks are symmetrically positioned behind the ridge line. A north wing, originally three bays wide with sashes featuring glazing bars and segmental heads, replaced an earlier structure. It has a parapeted north gable and chimney stacks located off-centre on the ridge line and at the gable. A later gabled addition is visible to the north.
