Old Rectory

The Old Rectory, now a house, was designed in 1866 by Charles Newstead for the Frankland family. It is constructed of orange-red brick in an English garden wall bond, with ashlar dressings, and has a grey slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has an irregular plan of four bays. Features include a chamfered plinth and a sill band to the first floor. The windows are mullioned and transomed, with chamfered stone sills and lintels; most ground-floor openings have 4-centred-arched brick relieving arches with herringbone brickwork to the tympana, and cogged eaves.

The front elevation is dominated by a semi-octagonal bay projecting on the right, roofed with a steep pitch. This bay has tall cross windows on three sides and a two-light window above, with the central window taller, transomed, and breaking the eaves under a gablet. A wooden finial is present on the roof of this bay. An entrance door, with a studded board surround, is centrally located between two bays, accompanied by a single-light window to the right and paired lights to the left. A two-light window is positioned above the door, with gablets to the left and right, mirroring a tall leaded stair window with a transom and traceried 4-centred-arched head that also breaks the eaves. A recessed bay to the left has a narrow window, and a lateral stack is positioned to the right, corbelled out at first floor level and tapering with tumbled-in brickwork and a cogged band. A similar stack rises from the eaves where the right-hand bays join. The roof is hipped on the left and has crested ridge tiles with a finial at the left end.

To the rear, a projecting gabled bay is situated off-centre, featuring a three-light window with two cross-windows above, and a tall window in the returns. A set-back bay to the right has a renewed four-light window on the ground floor and a three-light window breaking the eaves above, along with a lateral stack and a blind wall to the right. The left-hand bays, further set back, feature two windows flanked by an external lateral stack, with a first-floor window breaking the eaves to its right. A right return features two bays, the right one projecting with a gabled, pent-roofed bay window with two cross-windows above. Steps lead to a French window in the left bay, with a window above breaking the eaves.

The interior includes four-panel doors with moulded edges.
