Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the mid-19th century, with a 15th-century priest's house still intact within the later structure. The building has two storeys and is constructed of color-washed brick with a plain tile roof that features a large overhang at the eaves. It has a four-window range, with sashes that include glazing bars set in recessed openings, and painted lintels. The right-hand gable has a set-back on the ridge line and includes three windows along with a panelled entrance door.
