Description

The Old Rectory is an early 19th-century rectory. It is built of pebbledashed rubble with a tooled ashlar plinth and tooled- and-margined dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. The south elevation has two storeys and five windows, arranged irregularly. All the windows are 12-pane sashes with slightly-projecting sills. The roof is hipped with a small stepped-and-banded stack on the right slope. The left return shows a similar fenestration pattern, except for a blind right bay, and a flush-panelled double door in a raised stone surround. It also has two stepped-and-banded lateral stacks. The right return is similar, but without a doorway. The rear elevation has a 20-pane sash window overlooking the stairwell.

Inside, the entrance lobby features an old half-glazed door with a plain overlight. The other doors are panelled with six panels, set in moulded doorcases with paterae. There are panelled shutters throughout. The dining room has a decorative cornice with egg-and-dart and foliage detailing, as well as a ceiling rose. Moulded cornices are also present in the sitting room and library. The central hall has a panelled arch supported by paired consoles, a cornice with paterae at the corners, an open-well stair with stick balusters, a moulded handrail, and a curtail step. A moulded elliptical arch tops the stairhead. Bedrooms contain contemporary fireplaces with old ironwork.

The rectory may date to the same period as the 1816 rebuilding of the parish church.

A servants' wing, now Glebe Farmhouse, was originally attached to the north-west. A single-storeyed pent extension on the north-east is not considered to be of special interest.
