Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in 1818, with some alterations and an extension made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of pink brick, featuring a front in Flemish bond and the rest in English garden wall bond, with sandstone ashlar dressings and a slate roof. It has a central stairhall plan and is two storeys high with a three-window front. The original front door has been replaced by a 20th-century glazed porch, with 12-pane sash windows on either side and unequal 9-pane sash windows on the first floor. All windows have stone sills and wedge lintels, including the front door. The eaves feature a painted triglyph band and are boxed.

The left side of the building is two storeys high with three windows, repeating the window details of the main front. The right side originally mirrored the left but now has a full-height gabled extension added to the right of centre, with the first-floor windows on each side of the extension replaced by 20th-century crosses. The roof has ridge stacks on both parallel rear ranges, which are at right angles to the front range, and all ranges are hipped with ironwork scrolls at the corners.

Inside, there is an open-string straight staircase with shaped tread ends, stick balusters, and a moulded handrail that is wreathed at the foot. The balustrade continues around the stairwell on the first floor, which is lit by an overhead lantern. The entrance hall is divided by a pilastered segmental arch with moulded imposts. A ground-floor room on the left features two niches framed by similar arches. Throughout the ground floor, there are fielded panelled shutters and window recesses, and original firegrates are preserved in all the main first-floor rooms. The 20th-century extensions are not considered of special interest.
