Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a private house. It has an early 17th century core with some earlier work at the rear, while the facade and the right-hand cross wing date from the late 18th century. The building has an L-shaped plan and is constructed from timber framing with plaster, with the main range extended at the left end in colourwashed brick. It features a plaintiled roof and stands two storeys tall with an attic in the cross wing.
The main range has four windows, which are inset sashes with glazing bars. To the left side, there is a gabled extension that is set forward and has sash windows in flush frames. The doorway features 19th century three-quarter glazed double doors, and there are mid-20th century French windows. On the right side, the cross wing has a three-storey bowed front, where the original sash windows were replaced by casements around 1975. The front portion of the cross wing includes a plaster cove eaves cornice and a mansard roof. Inside, there is a fine late 18th century staircase, and two ground floor rooms in the cross wing have plaster cornices, with one room featuring a notable marble fireplace.
