Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating from the 17th to 18th century, with alterations made in the early and mid-19th century. It is constructed of English garden-wall bond brick, featuring limestone quoins and some flint, and has a tiled roof with brick and ashlar stacks. The building has a T-plan layout, with the entrance front positioned at right angles to the road.
This two-storey structure has a three-window facade. The central door, which has four fielded panels, is set back in a porch that has a tiled canopy supported by carved stone brackets. To the left of the door, there is a group of three 12-pane sash windows separated by flat stone mullions. To the right, there is a two-storey stone canted bay with narrow sashes and French windows on the ground floor. The first floor features a pair of 8-pane sashes with a central mullion, located above the door and to the left of the bay. The eaves cornice is toothed in brick.
The left side of the building, which faces the road, serves as the garden front and also has two storeys with four windows. To the right, there is a group of three tall 12-pane sashes with stone mullions, while to the left, there is a canted bay with a French window and sashes. The first floor has a group of three 8-pane sashes on the right and a 12-pane sash on the left. The rear wall features lozenge decoration made from vitrified headers, a half-glazed door on the ground floor, and a 12-pane sash window above it.
Attached to the rear left is a former two-storey service wing from the mid-19th century, which has casement windows and is now known as St. Georges Cottage. Although the interior is not accessible, records from the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England indicate that the 17th-century north range retains its original roof and stop-chamfered beams, along with early 19th-century reeded joinery and mid-19th-century plaster ceiling cornices and panelling. The work was carried out by R Blake in 1831.
