The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a late 18th-century house, originally the Vicarage, which has been divided into flats and extended in the 20th century. The walls are of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern (with the headers following the curve of the brick), with a similar appearance to the rear but using mathematical tiles. The roof is hipped and tiled, with slate covering the wings.

The east front is symmetrical and three storeys high, featuring semi-circular bays at each side, flanked by single-storey service wings in a one-window, three-window, one-window, three-window arrangement. A stucco base is present, along with rubbed flat arches and central round arches covered in plaster, a parapet with stone coping, and a cornice with a stone band above brick dentils. The wings have pediment gables with stone above brick coping, and a recessed arch with circular motifs above the rectangular window openings. A linking recessed wall connects the main block to the wings. The windows are curved sashes in reveals to the bays, and triple sashes to the wings, with arched heads to the central sashes at intermediate levels. A semi-circular Doric porch, with moulded stone steps, features triglyphs, fluted pilasters and columns (with circular heads and bases), an architrave, and a six-panelled door with two glazed panels.

The rear (west) elevation is asymmetrical, with three windows over three storeys, a two-storey arched recess in the centre, and single-storey recesses on each side. It has sashes, triple windows to the ground floor at each side, and 20th-century casements to the second floor. The wings are obscured by 20th-century extensions.

Inside, the entrance hall retains the original plain staircase. One ground floor room has a fine ceiling cornice, and there are folding shutters and panelled doors in architraves throughout.
