Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory around 1812. It is constructed of brick and features a 20th-century tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high with a cellar and has three bays. The central entrance is highlighted by a narrow stone Tuscan portico, with a cellar window located beneath the steps. The entrance door is four-panelled and includes a fanlight above it. On either side of the entrance, there are two-storey bow windows. The ground floor has sixteen-pane sash windows, while the upper floor features tripartite windows with twelve panes. The roof is mansard, with a distinctive swell over the bow windows, and there are gable external stacks. An outbuilding is located to the left of the main structure. A parallel block was added to the rear in the mid-19th century, with a date of 1830 marked "W.B" on a hopper. The rear block also has sixteen-pane sash windows that include keystones and cambered brick heads. Inside, the left drawing room features a marble fire surround.
