The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a private house that was originally built as a rectory around the early 19th century, specifically said to have been constructed in 1813 and designed by Benjamin Batley Catt of Ipswich. The building features Flemish bond red brick, which may have been originally rendered, and has plain tile roofs with crow-stepped gable ends adorned with terracotta moulded coping. It includes brick axial and gabled end stacks with groups of diagonally-set shafts.

The layout consists of a main axial range with a central entrance hall and flanking cross-wings that project at the back, along with a single-storey range in the space between. The architectural style is Tudor Gothic. The exterior is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical east front that has slightly projecting cross-wings on either side, featuring stepped gables. The right cross-wing has a polygonal brick finial, while the left has a projecting stack. The window arrangement is 1:2:1, consisting of 1 and 2-light moulded wooden mullion and transom windows with glazing bars set in chamfered openings. The central porch has a stepped gable with a brick finial and a chamfered 4-centred arch.

The garden front is symmetrical with two storeys and three bays, showcasing similar 2-light windows, with the ground floor windows being larger, and the centre featuring a French casement. At the rear, there are three stepped gables, with the right side having a stack and the left side displaying similar windows to the front and side. A single-storey centre gable projects and includes a canted bay window.

Inside, there is an open-well, open string staircase with stick balusters and a moulded handrail.
