Listed Building record MDO23498 - The Old Rectory, Lower Blandford St Mary, Blandford St Mary

THE OLD RECTORY (89140535), is a two-storied building with dormer-windowed attics beneath a tiled roof. The N.E. front is of header-bonded brickwork, the S.W. front is rendered, the S.E. elevation is of Flemish-bonded brickwork and the N.W. elevation is masked by a late addition. The house is nearly square on plan and the roofs have two ridges and an intervening valley. The staircase is dated 1732 and this is probably the date of the whole house, apart from additions to the S.W. front which are probably of the first half of the 19th century, and the N.W. extension which dates from 1870. <2>
