Description
The Old Rectory and Glebe House is a rectory that has been converted into two houses. It dates from the 17th century, with early and mid-19th century recasing and extensions, and some alterations from the 20th century. The building is constructed of grey brick with red brick dressings and features a slate roof with a brick stack. It has a complex plan and is two stories high with a six-window range.
On the right side, there is a glazed four-panel door with a two-centre arched design, sheltered by a gabled slate roof porch. To the left, there is a lean-to roof. Most openings have 19th-century sash windows, and there is a bullseye and transom window on the first floor to the left. The roof is complex, hipped to the center and flanked by cross-gables, each with hipped roofs on the left and right. The left return features a timber frame with a queen-post roof truss. The interior has not been inspected.
