Description
The Old Rectory is a former parsonage house that has been converted into a private residence. It was built around 1840 and underwent some alterations in the late 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed and squared limestone rubble, featuring rusticated ashlar quoins and ashlar dressings. It has a clay tile roof and brick stacks at the ends and a ridge stack located southeast of the center.
The structure consists of two parallel ranges and is two storeys high, with a symmetrical arrangement of windows: one window on each side and one in the center. The central feature is a late 19th-century two-storey bay with three lights at the front and one light on each side. There are canted bays on the ground floor to the left and right, all three bays are fitted with plate glass sashes, and they have a moulded parapet cornice along with a shaped and coped parapet. The first floor features glazing bar sashes on the left and right. The Old Rectory is roughly contemporary with the Church of All Saints, and they share considerable group value.
