SU 61 NW DROXFORD THE SQUARE 7/35 The Old Rectory (formerly 6.3.67 listed as The Rectory) II* House. Of probably older origin, but mainly late C18. Walls of colourwashed brickwork in Flemish bond with blue headers, plinth, deep 1st floor band, rubbed flat arches. Hipped tile roof, with a modillion cornice, flat-roofed dormers.

Sashes in exposed frames to the 1st floor sashes in reveals (with interior shutters) to the ground-floor. A Tuscan doorcase has a blocking course above the entablature, half-columns, and encloses an arched opening with a Gothic fanlight, and 7-panelled (2 top glazed) door. The east elevation is similar, of two storeys and attic five windows, with an additional thinner band (broken by the 1st floor cills). Sashes in exposed frames to the 1st floor, in reveals to the ground-floor. Within the angle there is a tall unit with the upper walls tile-hung, and lower units of two storeys and attic with irregular fenestration.
