Description
Old Rectory House is a rectory that has been converted into a house, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with some flared headers and features a recent tile roof along with brick stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. There is a 20th-century porch with a segmental arch above a four-panelled door, which includes two glazed panels and dates from the early 19th century. The windows are three-light leaded casements with octagonal panes, and there is an oeuil-de-boeuf window on the right gable wall. The roof is M-shaped with end stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
