Flat the Old Parsonage the Old Rectory

This is a group of three houses, comprising The Old Vicarage, a linking wing, and The Old Rectory with a flat above. The Old Vicarage dates to the 18th century and has been altered since its original construction. It is built of vitreous brick with red dressings, a band course, and a slate roof. The north section features two storeys and two bays of leaded, two-light windows with rendered voussoir heads. Later extensions and alterations were made to the south. The interior retains fragments of timber framing, including a cambered moulded tie beam in a first-floor room, and an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters, newel columns, and a moulded handrail. A linking wing connects The Old Vicarage to The Old Rectory, featuring two 20th-century doors within Georgian-style doorcases. The Old Rectory and flat, dated 1830 as indicated on a rainwater head, is constructed of red brick with a plain parapet and a pantile roof. The building is three storeys high with a south-east front of three bays. It features barred sash windows to the centre bay, and flanking tripartite sashes, the ground-floor windows set within segmental arches with panelled tympana. Upper windows have gauged brick heads. The central bay’s entrance is through wide double doors with arched glazed panels and a panelled tympanum below a 20th-century segmental hood, which incorporates Doric columns originally located within the house. Side walls feature similar windows, some of which are blocked. The south-west front has a circa 1900 conservatory in the centre.
