Description
The Old Rectory is a large Gothic-style house built in 1858 by G.E. Street. It is L-shaped and has one storey and an attic. The south elevation, which is the longest side, has three gables and three windows. The roof is tiled, with elaborate cusped bargeboards and tile-hung gables featuring bands of scalloped tiles, as well as stepped eaves fascia with a weathered top moulding. The walls are constructed of flint with red brick arranged in horizontal and vertical bands, with quoins, cambered openings, and a plinth. The windows are casements set within hollow-moulded wooden frames, contained within double-chamfered brick surrounds. The east side window is a brick angular bay with matching features. The main entrance is situated north of the east gable, within a narrower gable, with a further section projecting to the north and set back. The door is boarded and has ornamental iron hinges. The north-east corner of the building displays a complex arrangement of gables, an outshot, a catslide roof with a small gabled dormer near the roof ridge, and a conical roof over a round corner stairwell tower.
