Description
The Old Rectory is a former detached rectory house, now converted into flats, built around 1840 by Francis Niblett. The building is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features ashlar chimneys and a shaped-tile roof. It has a square block design in the Cotswold style, standing two stories tall with an attic and two single-storey service wings at the north end.
The east front showcases a central parapet gable above a three-window arrangement. A central Tudor-arched moulded doorway, complete with a hoodmould and blank shields in the spandrels, is flanked by three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements, each with a hoodmould. Above, there is a central two-light window with a hood, flanked by three-light windows, and an attic casement with a hood in the parapet gable, which features a cross roll saddle. The roof has a row of three diagonal chimneys with moulded caps to the right of the gable and a cluster of four to the left.
The south side is asymmetrical, with a projecting parapet gabled end to the right and a three-window arrangement of three-light fenestration, except for a two-light attic casement in the gable. There is a gabled roof dormer to the left with a two-light casement. The west side is also asymmetrical, featuring a projecting parapet gabled end to the right, with similar casements as on the other sides. It includes a large single-storey canted bay with a hipped roof to the recessed left gable, which has a Tudor-arched moulded doorway with a hoodmould and blank shields in the spandrels, leading to a glazed door. The upper part of the gable has shaped-tile hanging, pierced by an attic casement. There is a row of three eaves-mounted diagonal chimney shafts with moulded caps to the left of the projecting right gable.
The north side features two parapet gables with scattered two- and three-light fenestration. A hipped roof covers a single-storey service room to the left, while a service room with a lean-to roof to the right has its side wall extended with a Tudor archway. The interior has not been inspected. The Old Rectory forms part of a group with the Church of St. James.
