Description

The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the early 19th century with an 18th-century core and a mid-16th-century rear range. It has a double-pile plan and is two storeys high with five windows. The exterior is made of gault brick and features a parapet with a moulded limestone cornice. The roofs are slated, with a flat roof area behind the parapet. The windows are small-pane sash windows with gauged brick flat arches. The entrance door is a six-fielded panelled door, recessed, and has an oblong fanlight with radial glazing bars, flanked by pilasters and topped with a flat entablature. The rear range, which dates back to the mid-16th century, is timber-framed and has leaf-stop chamfered main beams. The attic storey and roof of this section were rebuilt in the early 19th century.

The Old Rectory sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
