Description

The Old Rectory is a building that began as a rectory and is now a private house. Its origins lie in the 16th century, with significant alterations in the late 17th century and the 19th century. The original structure was a timber-frame building with two bays and a projecting cross wing, which has since been encased in brick. Later additions include a late 17th-century block on the right, and a 19th-century flint and brick service wing attached to the left.

The front of the late 17th-century block, on the right, is two storeys and an attic, featuring a three-window range. A one-and-a-half storey stuccoed lean-to projects centrally, with two small, low 19th-century sash windows. Above the lean-to, on the right, is a 19th-century flush-framed camber-headed 16-pane sash window. To the left of a brick stack, which dates to the 18th century, are tall single-light windows on both floors. Further to the right end on each floor are 19th-century camber-headed tripartite sash windows. The building has a dentilled cornice and projecting eaves to a hipped mansard roof, with two dormers on the right side of the roof, indicating a change in roof slope. A gable stack is located on the right hip.

The original 16th-century section of the building now comprises a single room on the ground floor, showcasing 17th-century panelling.
