Description

The Old Rectory is a circa 1820 house, originally a rectory, now a private residence. It is constructed of rendered brick with moulded brick dressings, and has a clay tile roof with coped gable ends and crested ridge tiles. The roof includes gable-end stacks with pairs of diagonally-set shafts. The building is of Tudor Gothic style, with a double-depth plan and principal rooms on the west front, the main entrance on the north side, and service rooms likely located to the east.

The symmetrical west front features three gables with moulded brick coping, polygonal brick pinnacles and pendants and brick battlements. It also has canted bays to the left and right, featuring sash windows and tile-hung aprons. The central doorway has a Gothic porch with a similar gable, a pointed arch, and a French casement. Above the doorway is a two-light sash window with glazing bars. The north side includes a gable-end of the front range and an embattled parapet to a lower two-storey back range. Various sash windows and a gabled porch, near the centre with a pointed arch and a glazed and panelled door are also present. The south side and rear (east) have similar porches and sash windows with glazing bars. The interior of the house has not been inspected. An engraving by George Brannon, dated 1823, provides a visual record of the building.
