Description
The Old Rectory is a timber-framed and plastered house dating from the 16th to 17th century, with an early 19th-century front block. The old wing extends to the northeast, featuring exposed timber-framing on the northwest side. The building has two storeys and a front that includes five windows, which are double-hung sashes with glazing bars. The ground storey has two large bays projecting from the front; one bay contains a large double-hung sash window that reaches floor level and has louvred shutters, while the other bay features a three-light window. The remaining windows are modern casements, and the roofs are tiled.
