Description
The Old Rectory is a house constructed with whitewashed stucco and features a hipped roof with two red brick ridge stacks. It has flat eaves and is two storeys high with a three-window range. On the first floor, there is a square centre 12-pane sash window flanked by broad tripartite 3-12-3 pane sashes. The ground floor has a left section with a 4-16-4-pane window, a centre glazed double door, and a large hipped square bay to the right, which was remade in the 20th century and includes French windows and sidelights at the front, along with narrow lights on the sides. The stone sills have been renewed. The east end wall features a 12-pane window to the left and a 20th-century porch with square piers and a pediment to the right, with a square 12-pane window above. The north return wall has a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor to the left and a stair light on each floor to the right, with the top one being arch-headed, both featuring marginal glazing bars. The gable end of the northwest wing has a pair of leaded casement windows in the attic, a 3-light window on the first floor, and a 4-light window on the ground floor, both with hoodmoulds, and brick sides. Inside the porch, there is a half-glazed door with panelled sides.
The interior includes a spine corridor with stairs to the north and principal rooms to the south. There is an inner half-glazed door at the east end, six-panel doors, and stairs with stick balusters and turned newels.
