Description
The Old Rectory is a building that has been rendered and painted throughout, featuring imitation slate roofs. It has a rectangular double depth plan with two two-storey parallel ranges at the west rear. The main elevation consists of five bays with a central entrance. This entrance includes a panelled door with a blind recessed panel above, which has a cranked head and a dripmould over it. Flanking the entrance are canted bay windows that have small pane over large pane sashes, styled in the Edwardian manner. The roofs of these bay windows extend across the entrance as a porch, supported by two slim wooden columns. On either side of the central three windows, there is one casement and one fixed pane window, both with cranked heads and dripmoulds. The upper floor features two small paned casements on either side, with the same window style as below. The building has deep eaves, gable stacks on the front range, and gable stacks with two additional ridge stacks on the rear range. The gables are finished with plain bargeboards. The rear elevation was not seen during the resurvey, and the interior was also not inspected at that time.
