The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is an early 19th-century house, originally the rectory, with later additions, including a single-storey wing to the left. The construction is primarily brick, with stucco and ashlar detailing to the front facade and the right-hand return (garden front), while the rest of the building is colourwashed. The roof is slated and hipped.

The two-storey, three-bay front facade features clasping pilasters at the corners, with the narrow central bay projecting forward. The facade is close to symmetrical. It has inset sash windows with glazing bars, set under slightly cambered arches. The front door is a six-panel bolection-moulded door with a rectangular overlight featuring ornamental glazing with a design of radiating loops; the door has panelled reveals. A fine Roman Doric porch is present, with wreaths in the metopes and a dentil cornice to the entablature. The two-bay pilastered garden front has a first-floor moulded band and French windows on the ground floor. The rear elevation has a central projecting section with a doorway and matching overlight to the front. Part of the medieval moat remains nearby.
