Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the mid-18th century with alterations and additions made in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick with flared headers in Flemish bond and features a plain-tile roof with brick ridge stacks. The building is two stories high and has a three-window range, forming an L shape.
The main front, which faces the road, has a part-glazed double-leaf door located to the left of center, topped with a stone lintel and keyblock. There are 12-pane sash windows on both the ground and first floors, along with a blank window above the door, all featuring stone lintels and keyblocks. The structure includes a stone plinth, quoins, and wave-moulded stone eaves. To the left, there is a stone-coped gable with kneelers.
At the rear right, there is a wing that faces the garden, which has similar sash windows and a canted stone bay window from the 19th century. A later wing to the rear left is two stories high and constructed of coursed limestone rubble, featuring irregular glazing with casement sash and tripartite sash windows. The interior has not been inspected.
