Description
The Old Rectory, along with its adjoining coach house and stables, was built in 1864 by George Devey for the Earl of Ducie. It is now a private house. The building is constructed of squared rubble with freestone dressings, and has a plain tiled roof with brick stacks featuring cornices. It is arranged in an irregular L-shape with a gabled cross wing to the south, and is two storeys with attics in the gables.
The facade has three bays. A projecting square bay window is on the left, topped with a gable and featuring a six-light cross window with king mullions on the ground floor, and three- and two-light windows above. The gabled cross wing to the right includes a buttress on the ground floor, an oriel window above with a 1:2:1 light arrangement, and a three-light casement in the attic. A moulded doorcase, with a four-centred head, enriched spandrels, and a hoodmould with lozenge stops is in the centre, with the Ducie coronet and date displayed above. The first floor has a four-light cross window and the attic a two-light casement.
To the left of the main house, a wall extends north for about 15 yards, behind which is a single-storey coach house, offices, and stables, forming three sides of a yard.
