The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a Grade II listed building dating from 1830, with its core dating back to around 1730. This Gothic-style house features two storeys and has asymmetrical facades with a complex design. The steep roof is covered in red tiles and has two parallel ridges, one higher than the other, along with a cross-ridge. The walls are constructed from ragstone rubble, with ashlar quoins and other elements made from Caen stone sourced from Odiham Priory.

The south front showcases a two-storeyed gabled porch, which includes small coupled cusped lights above a pointed arch and is supported by buttresses. This porch is accessed by two steps and has a plinth. The sides of the porch feature a slightly recessed lower wall with a small light. The west side has a gable with a distinctive red brick wall that displays a pattern of curving joints and flush stonework around the openings. This wall is topped by an ashlar chimney stack with coupled octagonal flues, separated from a plain base by a projecting rounded moulding. The east side is characterized by a tall projecting stack with irregular set-offs, two small ground-floor lancets, and a single-storeyed projecting unit that has a large triangular-arched window.

The long west elevation includes a central projection that contains a group of four lancets above four mullion and transomed lights. On either side, there is irregular fenestration featuring one, two, and three-light lancets, with two groups on the ground floor having cusped heads. The roof features two gabled dormers at different heights, which are tile-faced and lack cheeks, containing two and three square wooden windows. There are three stacks, two of which have octagonal grouped flues.

The east (rear) elevation has a ground-floor outshot that spans most of its width, featuring two dormers without cheeks in its roof, a gable, and a large projecting stack. The north elevation has two gables, one set back, and a varied window treatment along with a painted doorway. Most openings are chamfered, and most windows are fitted with diagonal leaded lights. In some areas, a red brick plinth is exposed.
