Description
The Old Rectory is a former parsonage house built around 1850. It is two storeys tall with a colour-washed, rendered exterior and hipped slate roofs that feature wide eaves overhangs and a modillion cornice. The main range has three windows, which are small-paned sashes with heavy projecting composition stone surrounds, eared architraves, and bracketed sills. There is a portico supported by square piers, with a dentil cornice on the architrave and a rounded-headed window on each side. The south side, facing the garden, has ground storey windows set in a single-storey flat-roofed projection. Attached to the main house on the north side is another range designed in the same style, aligned north-south, with a two-span roof, similar windows, and an enclosed gabled porch on the north side that features high copings to the gable. For details on the date and later improvements, refer to correspondence under reference FL 594/3/10 in the Record Office, Bury St. Edmunds.
