The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house, originally the rectory for Carlton Colville. Its structure has a fragmentary timber-framed core dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, with substantial rebuilding in the 18th century and a later 19th-century addition to the rear. The front of the building is colourwashed brick, with rendering at the rear, and a roof of glazed black pantiles. The house is two storeys and has an attic. It has four windows, spaced unevenly. The first floor windows are sash windows with glazing bars in flush frames. The ground floor windows are later segmental-arched inset sashes, with a canted bay window to the right. A wide inset doorway has a late 19th-century four-panel door, the upper panels glazed, and matching side lights. The doorway is framed by a late 19th-century stone doorcase in a Gothic style, featuring carved spandrels. The eaves have a wooden modillion cornice. There are two internal chimney stacks.
