Description
The Old Rectory is an 18th-century house built on the site of a medieval hostelry previously belonging to the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem. It is a two-storey and attic building with a flint facade featuring red brick window dressings and quoins. The roof is tiled with a wooden eaves cornice, and includes three dormers. Four sash windows with intact glazing bars are present. A later projecting stuccoed porch with a room above has been added.
