Description
The Old Rectory is a house built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with brick and ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays. There are three steps leading up to a central six-panel door, which is topped by a fanlight featuring radial glazing bars set within an architrave that has impost bands. The entrance is framed by a stepped surround of Doric pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice with a pediment above.
To the left of the entrance, there is an unequally hung 20-pane sash window beneath a flat brick arch. To the right, a late 19th-century canted bay window features glazing bar sashes, along with a frieze and cornice. A continuous sill band is present, interrupted by the canted bay. On the first floor, there are three 16-pane sash windows, which also have a continuous sill band and flat brick arches above them. The building is finished with a dentilled brick cornice and has a hipped roof with ridge stacks.
