Description

The Old Rectory is a house dating from the early 19th century, with alterations made to an earlier building. The west front is of red brick with a plinth of coursed rubble stone, a hipped slate roof, and a brick chimney on the right side. The remaining part of the building is of coursed rubble stone, with some brick quoins and window surrounds, and has tiled roofs. It is two stories high. The west front has four bays of early 19th century sash windows with three panes, featuring fine gauged brick heads. The two leftmost windows are within a shallow two-story bowed projection. The third bay has a grained six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight and an altered surround. The long north front has four irregular bays; the central bays feature canted projections with half-hipped roofs and later sash windows. A room behind the right-hand projection has wooden panelling. A north-west room, with its bowed projection, contains an early 19th century plaster cornice and a wooden fireplace of uncertain date. The staircase has been altered, with wooden rails and turned newel posts.
