Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory that dates from around 1830 for the front range, with a rear range from the late 18th century, possibly incorporating an older core. The building has two storeys and attics. The front range is constructed of black knapped flint and features a dentil cornice, string course, and rusticated quoins and dressings in white brick. It has a hipped roof covered with black glazed pantiles. Each storey has a range of four small-paned sash windows set in deep reveals, along with three flat-headed dormers that contain sash windows in the roof slope. At the east end, there is a large two-storey canted bay added in the later 19th century, which has a flat roof with a parapet and three large-paned sash windows on each storey. This extension wraps around the east side of the house, where there is an external chimney-stack and the main entrance featuring a plain portico. The rear range is made of white brick, also with black glazed pantiles and a hipped two-span roof, giving the appearance of an earlier complete house. Inside, there are two internal chimney-stacks. The west face of the building has three small-paned sash windows in deep reveals on each storey.
