{1} The Old Rectory is a large late 19th-century brick house set back from the road within a large garden in Church Lane. Its front elevation faces southwest towards the church and churchyard. Its
side elevation faces Church Lane. The front elevation is of ironstone and has a central projecting gable with a Gothic arch doorway with a hood mould above and a solid timber plank door.
Above there is a single window with a stone sill and a stone hood mould. The gable has stone coping and kneelers and a decorative finial. Either side of the projecting gable there are windows at
ground and first floor level which display similar detailing. The elevation facing Church Lane is largely built of red brick with detailing in ironstone, which is similar to that on the front elevation. There are two bay windows on the ground floor with ironstone stone mullions and a further window in the centre. On the first floor there are three windows with square brick headers and stone sills. All the windows have brick hood moulds above. At attic level there is a small window in the gable and two dormer windows with decorative barge boards. The roof is of slate and has three groups of tall brick chimney stacks. A tall brick boundary wall encloses the building and its garden.
