Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating to the late 16th century, with extensions added in the 17th century to the front, and later extensions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries set back to the right. The structure is timber-framed, with exposed timber and whitewashed render infilling to the rear wing. The front is roughcast, while the later extensions are faced in ironstone with brick dressings and cladding, and feature tile-hung gables. There is whitewashed brick and tile hanging, some in fishscale bands, to the first floor above the left-hand return front. It has plain tiled roofs, with a half-hip to the right side.
The front of the house has two storeys, with a projecting gabled wing to the left. The first floor is jettied and features quatrefoil and floral carvings on the bargeboards, and a spike finial. Tall, ribbed stacks are present, one to the rear ridge to the right of centre, and an end stack to the left on a whitewashed rubble plinth. The fenestration is irregular, with a four-light leaded cross window on the first floor and a five-light cross window on the ground floor. Two four-light first-floor windows are located to the right. The ground floor has glazed casement doors to the left, flanked by twelve-pane sash windows. A ribbed door is set within a 20th-century brick and timber open porch on the right.
The left-hand return front features a rendered plinth, whitewashed brick, and a large stack to the left. The fenestration is irregular, with three first-floor leaded casements. Ground floor has a 19th-century casement window under a gauged brick cambered head. A timber-framed range is set back to the left, with a hipped roof. It incorporates a massive, ribbed and panelled square stack to the left, three framed bays, and a one-storeyed attic under a hipped, leaded dormer roof. A half-glazed door is on the right.
The right-hand extensions have a ridge stack of complicated section. There is a gable end to the left with an attic window, and a first-floor sash window. A hipped roof porch is located to the right, with a ribbed door.
