Description
The Old Rectory is an early 19th-century former rectory, with later 19th-century additions. It is constructed of red brick with a hipped slate roof and brick lateral and internal stacks. The building has a complex plan, and presents a two-storey, three-window facade to the yard. The central entrance features a four-panel door with an ogee lead hood supported by iron brackets. It is flanked by a three-light blind window above and a similar two-light window above the door. All windows and the door have segmental heads and cemented hood moulds. The right side elevation, facing the garden, retains a mid-19th century Doric pillared stone porch with a double-leaf part-glazed door and fanlight. Ground floor windows to the left are 12-pane sashes, while a canted stone bay window to the right contains plate glass sashes. First-floor windows are 9-pane sashes, all with gauged brick lintels. The interior features 19th-century marble fireplaces and an open well staircase, likely rearranged. The staircase has stick balusters, a cast iron standard, and a wreathed and ramped mahogany handrail.
