Description
The Old Rectory is a 1867 rectory, dated by inscriptions on the rainwater heads. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and a plain tile roof, featuring tall, shaped brick stacks. The building is two storeys high with an attic. It has stone mullioned and mullion-and-transom windows. The main garden front has two gables, the left one slightly projecting, with tumbled brickwork to the gables. The front has four windows, with a two-light attic window, a three-light mullion-and-transom window on the first floor, and a two-light mullion-and-transom window on the ground floor. The central part of the front has a pointed-headed door to the left, above which is a tall two-light stair window. To the right of the door is a three-sided bay window with a tiled roof. Another projecting bay window is located on the South side. The North front, which serves as the entrance front, incorporates a stone doorcase with a projecting gabled timber porch and a tiled roof.
