Description

The Old Rectory is a two-storey, Domestic Revival style former rectory, dating from the 19th century. The building is composed of four picturesquely grouped gabled wings. The walls are brick with terracotta mouldings, mullioned windows, banding, and gables featuring fleur-de-lis tiles in relief. The tile roof has slightly overhanging eaves, and the building has brick stacks with moulded angles. The asymmetrical north entrance front has the entrance situated right of centre, with a porch and a two-storey vestibule beneath a pyramid roof. The timber-framed porch sits on a brick dwarf wall and features moulded posts and a black-and-white framed gable, sheltering a ribbed door under a segmental head. The vestibule has a transomed window to the left of the porch, above which are a single-light and a two-light window. To the left, a projecting gabled bay is dominated by a five-light, double-transomed window, with a replaced segmental-headed doorway to its left, and two cross windows in the upper storey. Further to the left is a narrower bay with a three-light transomed window in the lower storey and a two-light window above. Set back to the right of the porch is the return of the west garden front, which includes a single blind window.

The irregular, three-bay west garden front is also asymmetrical. On the left side is the gable end of the north front, featuring three-light windows, transomed in the lower storey. To its right is a range that is half-hipped on the left. It contains a narrow recessed bay with two-light, transomed windows in the lower storey, between which is diamond pattern brickwork with whitened render infill. Further right is a cross window in the lower storey and a single-light and a two-light window in the upper storey. The asymmetrical two-bay south garden front has the gable end of the west front to the left, featuring four-light transomed windows, which are taller in the lower storey. A narrower, advanced gabled bay to the right has a large seven-light transomed window in the lower storey and a four-light window above. In the east front, where a large wing was removed in the late 20th century, most of the windows are replacements with stone mullions, although two two-light windows have survived in the upper storey. The building was not inspected internally.
