The Old Rectory House

A large detached house, dating to around 1500, with significant 19th-century additions. The original core is brick, partly rendered, with an old tiled roof that is steeply pitched to the eaves of the original wing. The southwest front features the original two-story section with dormers, encompassing two main bays. Additions of one and two stories extend to the left and right. A 19th-century hipped-roof porch shelters the entrance to the original block's left bay. The original section contains square-headed mullioned windows with renewed stone dressings: a four-light window above the entrance, a one-light window to its right, and a two-light window to the right again. There are 19th-century casement dormers with leaded lights. A substantial original brick stack rises on the face of the wall to the right-hand side. Buttresses are present at the corners and center of the facade. To the left is a slightly recessed original octagonal brick stair turret, later topped with a glazed upper stage and a cornical roof with a weathervane. A further original octagonal stair turret is located at the rear. The additions are in a Tudor revival style. The interior contains fine late 16th or early 17th-century panelling, largely imported, and a former chapel with a painted barrel vaulted roof embellished with decorative plasterwork.
