Description
The Old Rectory is a late 18th-century rectory that has been converted into a detached house, with extensions added in the 19th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork set on a rubble stone plinth, topped with a tiled roof that has gable end brick stacks. The building is two stories high with an attic and has a symmetrical five-window front in an L-plan layout with wings.
The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door with a semi-circular fanlight, framed by panelled reveals and an open pediment supported by fluted columns. On either side of the door, there are two segmental-headed 12-pane sash windows, and to the right, a three-light leaded cellar casement window. The first floor has five segmental-headed sash windows, all of which feature keystones. The roof is adorned with three hipped dormers, each containing 2-light casements.
The right side of the building has dressed limestone and features sash windows along with a datestone inscribed "H. GOOD / 1799." The left side has sash windows and a single-storey brick addition with a datestone inscribed "1828." There is a contemporary rear wing on the right and an early 19th-century added wing on the left, both with sash windows. Inside, the property boasts well-preserved six-panelled doors set in moulded architraves and window shutters for the ground floor sash windows.
