The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former parsonage built around 1852 by William Butterfield. It features coursed stone and blue machine tile with a half-hipped roof adorned with crested ridge tiles and ridge stacks. The building has an asymmetric, essentially rectangular plan and a high Gothic entrance front with five windows. The façade is divided into two parts: a two-storey and attic service block on the left and a one-storey and attic section on the right. These sections are connected by a lower polygonal-fronted stair turret with a steeply pitched roof, which also leads to a single-storey, buttressed, lean-to entrance porch on the right. The left block is accentuated by massive stacks with battered flue heads, giving it a greater height.

The left side features two-light mullioned and labelled casement windows, along with a pent dormer. The stairway has trefoil-headed lights, while the right side has labelled pairs of pointed-arch windows set in square recesses, with small square lights above the porch. The garden front includes a projecting two-storey gabled bay that is corbelled out over a three-sided ground floor bay window, with tall trefoil-headed lights on the ground floor. Inside, there is pine panelling to dado level in the main rooms, simple fireplaces, and some library shelving. A wrought iron bell pull is located by the entrance.
