Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built around 1840, with a core dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It has two storeys and is constructed of painted red brick. The rear T-shaped block features encased timber-framed walling. The roofs are covered with pantiles and have undulating bargeboards and ridge finials, along with a moulded eaves cornice.
Central to the building are 19th-century chimneys made of red brick, featuring square flues with recessed panels between them. The windows, dating from around 1840, are casement style with splayed reveals and hood-moulds; the ground floor windows also include transomes. On the garden side, there is a splayed bay with a parapet roof that has embattled ornament. The entrance porch, which is one storey high, is located in the re-entrant angle. The doorway features splayed reveals and a panelled door adorned with a pattern of applied beading.
