Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It was built in 1833 by George Gilbert Scott for his father. The building is constructed of red brick and features a hipped slate roof with brick lateral stacks. It has a double-depth plan and is two stories tall, with a three-window range. The central entrance consists of an 8-panel door with an overlight and panelled reveals, which are flanked by fluted half pillars that support a frieze and cornice, enhanced with recent decorations. The property has 12-pane sash windows throughout, each with gauged brick lintels and painted stone sills. To the left, there is a lower two-storey one-window range. The interior has not been inspected.
