Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a slated hipped roof, along with a brick band at the eaves. The building has a red brick ridge stack and an additional stack on the left-hand return. It stands two storeys high and has a three-window range, with sash windows that include glazing bars. The ground floor windows are topped with gauged, flat brick arches. The central entrance doorway is adorned with plain pilasters and has a moulded canopy with a blocking course. The door itself has raised and fielded panels, with the upper part glazed.
