Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century, with 19th-century additions. It is constructed of flint with red brick quoins and dressings. The roof is made of Horsham slabs with plain tiles towards the crest, hipped to the left, and features a gable from a wing at the rear that appears in front of the ridge. There is an end stack to the right, a ridge stack to the left of center, and another ridge stack on the rear wing. The building has two storeys with an irregular arrangement of windows, featuring four on the first floor and five on the ground floor. The ground floor includes large 19th-century cross-window casements, except for a six-light transom and mullion window on the extreme right. All ground-floor windows are set under segmental heads. To the right of center, there is a panelled door with a flat hood supported by brackets above. It is likely that the three right-hand bays were part of the original house, which was later extended to the left.
