Description
The Old Rectory, built in 1848 by Butterfield, is a former rectory located on Stockwell Lane in Wavendon. The building is constructed of coursed greensand rubble with ashlar limestone quoins and dressings, featuring a steep pitched roof covered in blue Staffordshire tiles arranged in a fishscale pattern. A small bellcote with a copper roof sits on the ridge of the north front, and there are tall stone chimney stacks, stone coped gables, and stone gabled eaves dormers.
The structure is two storeys high with an attic and has a string course at the first floor level. The east elevation displays a gable with a projecting chimney on the left, accompanied by a smaller gable on the right that includes a single light attic window. There is a two-light mullioned window with trefoil-headed lights on the first floor and a gabled porch below, supported by large stone brackets with a corbelled cut that frames a gothic arch. To the right, there are two and one-light mullioned windows, a dormer, and another projecting chimney.
On the southeast elevation, there is a gable on the left featuring a canted bay window on the ground floor with trefoil-headed tracery. Above it, there are a three-light window on the first floor and a two-light attic window, both with shallow arched lights and hoodmoulds. A trefoil-headed traceried staircase window uses the first-floor string as a central transom, with a dormer above. On the far right, there is a three-light trefoil-headed window on the ground floor and a two-light arched-headed window on the first floor.
The west elevation has a projecting stack on the right and a dormer on the left, with shouldered arched lights to the windows. The ground floor features a four-light window on the left and a three-light window above it, with a two-light window in the centre of the first floor above a modern door designed in the Butterfield style. To the right of the chimney, there is a similar door on the first floor leading to a small balcony above a projecting modern conservatory that has a canted end and trefoil pattern tracery.
To the north, there is a lower two-storey wing with a projecting gable, which is connected by a high stone wall to a small two-storey service block built in similar materials and style. This service block is L-shaped with a gabled wing at the east end, featuring a two-light mullioned window on the first floor and doors leading to service rooms on the ground floor.
