The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house incorporating a 15th-century core, substantially rebuilt in the late 17th century, with extensions added in the mid-to-late 18th century and early 19th century. The original timber-frame structure is now largely encased in brick, set on a flint plinth, with some rendered elevations. Additional sections are brick or brick and flint, all topped with old plain tile roofs.

The oldest part of the building is a two-story, four-bay range. Remnants of the original 15th-century construction are visible internally at the left end. A square 18th-century block and a later 18th-century wing extend to the rear, left and right respectively. A late 17th-century staircase projection, incorporated into a 19th-century wing, is centrally located at the rear.

The front of the oldest range features a half-glazed door in the left centre bay. The remaining bays contain three-light casement windows, with smaller, similar windows on the first floor. All windows and doors date from the early 19th century, each light having a cambered head. Chimneys are prominent, with a large stack at the rear centre of the main range, housing an oak staircase with turned balusters and newels (three balusters per step), a moulded handrail that ramps over the newels, a softwood dado, and bolection-moulded panelling.

On the first floor, a room in the left bay reveals exposed windbraces and a purlin from the original 15th-century roof, along with a 17th-century corner cupboard.
