Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the mid-18th century with alterations made in the late 19th century. It has two storeys and attics, featuring three windows and set-back flanking lean-to wings that are one window wide. The building is constructed of red brick with random burnt headers, and it has a string course at the first floor and a dentil course at the eaves. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, featuring gabled dormers with bargeboards that have fretted soffits. At the rear, there are 19th-century chimneys made of red brick.
The entrance is flanked by a pair of hipped, plain-tiled, one-storey bay windows from the 19th century, which have small-pane sash windows and side-lights. The mid-18th-century entrance doorway has a six-fielded-panelled door, a moulded architrave, and a pediment supported by console brackets. The flanking wings date from the 18th century and have curved 19th-century parapets and slated roofs, with 18th-century small-pane sash windows and a small circular window above lighting the attic. At the rear, there is a large two-storey service wing from the 19th century, built of flint rubble with red brick quoins and a hipped pantiled roof.
