Description
The Old Rectory is a semi-detached house, built in the early to mid-19th century, and is attached to St Lawrence. It is constructed of rendered brick with incised render and features a slate roof. The main body of the building is rectangular, with extensions at right angles at the rear. The facade is two storeys high and has three windows. The first floor has sixteen-pane sash windows with moulded wooden architraves. On the ground floor, there are cross-mullioned French windows with glazing bars on either side of 19th-century panelled double doors, although the panelling now only remains at the bottom, all beneath a flat-roofed porch. The first bay of the right-hand return is bowed, featuring curved French doors on the ground floor and a bowed 12-pane sash window within a moulded architrave on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
