The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house located on Church Road in Stoke Hammond. The southeast range of the building dates back to the 17th century but has been significantly altered and extended in the mid to late 18th century and later. It is constructed of brick, with some parts whitewashed, and features old tile roofs, brick coped gables, and brick chimneys. The structure consists of three parallel ranges, with the southeast range exhibiting some timber-framing.

The northwest range has a ground floor made of vitreous brick with red dressings, while the first floor is constructed of red brick with blue diaper patterns, and includes a moulded plinth, a first floor band course, and eaves. The building is two storeys high with an attic and comprises five bays. The three bays on the left have sash windows, with four-pane windows on the first floor and altered three-pane sashes with gauged heads on the ground floor. The central ground floor opening has been modified to include a 20th-century glazed door with a fanlight. The two bays on the right have been altered, featuring blocked windows beside a chimney.

The attic includes three hipped dormers with paired barred wooden casements. The southwest front displays three gabled bays, with the right bay being slightly lower and featuring a 19th-century external chimney. The left bays have 19th-century Tudor hoodmoulds over blocked attic openings and first floor tripartite sash windows. The ground floor features a canted bay window on the left and double 20th-century glazed doors with a glazed porch in the central bay. The southeast front is irregular in appearance.

Inside, there is a stop-chamfered spine beam in the center of the 17th-century range, along with a re-used early 18th-century staircase that has twisted balusters, fluted Corinthian newel columns, and finely carved scrolls on the string.
