Description
The Old Rectory, later divided into two properties, is a mid-18th century former rectory. It is constructed of colourwashed render with flush rusticated dressed stone quoins, and exposed rubble to the right-hand return front. The roof is covered with stone copings and pantiles. The east front has two storeys and three windows, featuring 16-pane sash windows. A central porch was added in the 19th century, with a six-panel door and a semi-circular spoked fanlight. Rendered stacks are at each end of the building. A later porch extension, containing a 20th-century door, stands to the right.
