Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a timber frame with rendered brick infill and a roof made of stone slate and slate. The building consists of two cells and is two storeys high. The west front features a stone and rubble plinth and has 11 bays of large framing with arch braces at the corners and center. There are two 18th-century leaded casements on the first floor, while the other windows are from the 19th and 20th centuries. A central gable chimney stack is present. At the south end, there is evidence of a 17th-century wing, which has been enlarged in the 20th century to create a large gabled wing. A 20th-century porch is located at the angle between the wing and the main range, incorporating some 17th-century materials. A 20th-century connecting wing at the rear links the main range to late 17th-century farm buildings that have been converted into an extension of the house. Inside, the ground floor passages have flagged floors, and the kitchen features chamfered end-stopped beams. Small framing is exposed in the upper rooms.
