Description

The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in the early 18th century. It is constructed from lias ashlar and has a slate roof, featuring an H-plan layout. The building has two storeys with an attic and a symmetrical west front that includes a three-window range. The central entrance is a half-glazed 19th-century door framed by a moulded stone architrave, which is supported by a central scroll bracket and features a moulded stone cornice above.

To the right and left of the entrance, there are single-light windows with glazing bars, while the window above the entrance is supported by panelled pilasters and has a moulded stone surround adorned with foliated scrolls at the base and a pediment above, topped with a moulded stone urn. All windows are casements with glazing bars, wood mullions, cross transoms, and moulded stone surrounds.

The flanking gables have rusticated quoins and a flat string course between the ground and first floor, as well as a moulded stone string course between the first and attic floors. The gable parapets are made of ashlar and feature scroll kneelers. There are central brick and rendered stacks. The north and south facades are similar, with a canted bay on the south side and a dormer above.
