Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a house, dating from the early 19th century. It features a roughcast exterior and a slate roof, with end stacks that are rendered and topped with moulded caps, each fitted with three large decorative chimney pots. The architectural style is classical with Tudoresque detailing.
The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-bay façade. The first floor has two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, while the ground floor features two flat-roofed canted bays with sash windows that also have glazing bars. Each bay is topped with a moulded cornice and an embattled parapet. The door opening is located on the right return and consists of paired half-glazed doors, each with a lower panel that has a 'Tudor' moulding. There is a large window on the first floor of the right return, which has a four-centred arch head and a casement with "Gothick" glazing.
To the left return is a former stable block that now serves as a garage. This structure is two storeys high with two bays and features 12-pane sash windows on the first floor. The ground floor has a recessed door opening to the right, which includes paired half-glazed doors, and a further broad opening to the left with paired 20th-century plank doors.
Inside, the rectory retains many original features, including two front ground floor rooms that have fireplaces with marble surrounds and register grates, moulded plaster cornices, and doors and window shutters designed in the 'Gothick' style.
