The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a late 18th-century former rectory, now a house, built for the Reverend Richard Frank D.D. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick with a plain tile roof. The main front has three bays arranged symmetrically, featuring a central Greek revival doorway with a six-panel door and decorated fanlight. Fluted, baseless Doric half-columns support a moulded entablature, and there are sash windows with ashlar sills and flat-arched heads. The first floor mirrors the ground floor with sash windows. A later sash window replaces an earlier one on the left side. The rear elevation has two central bays with sash windows on both floors, flanked by projecting 19th-century service wings. Blocked windows indicate a former symmetrical four-bay arrangement. The garden front is also symmetrical, with a central semi-octagonal bay window containing a doorway formed from a sash window and a lower half-door.

The interior staircase hall features an open-well staircase with stick balusters, slender vase-on-octagon newels, and a wreathed handrail. A spinal corridor has groin vaulting supported by wall brackets. The drawing room has wall panelling, a 20th-century ashlar chimney piece with a Tudor arch, and an earlier 18th-century chimney piece with fluted columns, acanthus capitals, cabled fluting, moulded bases, a fluted frieze, and maidens with garlands on the projecting panels. The staircase has moulded tread ends and a decorated cornice.
