Description
The Old Rectory is a late 17th-century house located in Chalfont St Giles. It is a two-storey building originally consisting of seven bays, constructed from grey brick with red brick dressings. The roof is tiled and hipped, featuring a coved plaster cornice. The windows are double-hung sashes with bars, set in flush moulded frames, and have gauged flat arches on the ground floor. Later alterations include a central doorcase with bracketed hood, reeded half-columns, and a patterned fanlight. Three flat-roofed dormers are visible on the front elevation.
A late 17th-century north-west wing is timber-framed and two storeys high, featuring one window. At the rear of the building, several original 17th-century cross-casement windows remain.
The interior includes an original hall with fielded panelled walls, a first floor with a coved segmental ceiling, and a close string newel staircase with turned balusters.
