Description

The Rectory, now a private house, features an attached archway and rear yard walls. The building includes a rear wing with a possibly re-set doorway dated 1666 and a front range built in 1725 for Reverend Henry Wastell, along with 19th-century additions and alterations. The structure is made of ashlar sandstone for the front and rear wings, with squared rubble on the returns. It has graduated green slate roofs and ashlar chimneys, following a T-plan layout. The front range has an addition and archway on the right side, with two sections at right angles on the rear, and yard walls and outshuts at the back and side of the wing.

The three-storey, five-bay front features a plinth and raised quoins. The segmental-headed windows have surrounds and aprons with banded rustication. There is a central pair of three-panel doors with a three-pane overlight. The first floor has eight-pane sashes with thick glazing bars, while twelve-pane sashes have been replaced elsewhere. The steep hipped roof has swept eaves, and two stacks rise from the rear wall. A 19th-century stone bay window is located on the left side. The single-storey, two-bay addition has a pitched roof, a corniced stack, and a section of flat-coped wall with an elliptical archway on the right side. The rear wing consists of a two-storey, three-bay section with a horse-mounting block, replaced sashes, and a round-arched stair window; a lower two-storey, two-bay section features a moulded Tudor-arched doorway with a Latin inscription to Reverend Major Allgood and the date 1666. The flat-coped yard walls have a quadrant ramp on the side of the rear section, and there are three linked single-storey outshuts across the back.

The interior has been significantly altered in the 19th century. The front range contains two, four, and six-panel doors within architraves, three-panel internal window shutters, and several small chamfered stone fireplaces on the top floor. The open-well staircase in the rear wing has three flights plus a landing rail, with a ramped handrail on stick balusters.
