Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory dating to around 1800, with extensions added in the early 19th century. It is constructed of gault brick, with a hipped roof covered in graded Welsh slates and internal chimneys of gault brick. The building has two storeys and five windows on its front facade. The windows are small-pane sashes with flat arches formed with gauged brick. Four Ionic pilasters, constructed from buff terracotta or limestone, rise through both storeys of the central bays to support a shallow pediment featuring plain moulded woodwork. The front door has eight sunk panels, and above it is a shallow arch in two orders of gauged brick, topped with a small semicircular fanlight with radiating bars.
The interior of the front range features restrained plasterwork and joinery dating to around 1800, including Flaxman ovals and panels over doors. A staircase within the inner hall has a wrought iron balustrade. It is believed that one room contains fluted Ionic columns and a bedroom has a ceiling in the style of Adam. An early 19th-century addition of one and one windows was built to the right of the original building, alongside a larger extension to the rear. To the right and left of the main building are semi-elliptical screen walls, approximately 2.5 metres high and made of gault brick with a band mid-height. An archway at the centre has wrought iron fencing within the lower part.
