Description
The Old Rectory is a former vicarage, now a house, with origins dating back to the 17th century or earlier, and has undergone later alterations. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble, featuring 18th-century brick eaves on the main wing and a brick gable on the cross wing. The roof is covered with concrete pantiles, while the porch has plain tiles. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a two-room central baffle-entry range and a projecting cross wing to the left, which originally had two rooms but now has one, along with a full-length rear outshut.
The entrance range is two storeys high with five symmetrical bays. The cross wing is two storeys with an attic and is single bay wide. There is a late 19th to early 20th-century open wooden porch that features a pair of panelled outer doors. Inside, there is a wide six-fielded panel inner door with an overlight in a plain reveal and beaded frame. The windows are cross windows with plain flush frames, mullions, and transoms, featuring leaded lights, except for the second from the left on the ground floor, which has plain panes. The two ground floor windows on the right have been lengthened and now have larger leaded panes. The building has a stepped and cogged brick eaves cornice, and the gable end of the wing includes a lengthened ground floor window along with smaller windows on the first floor and attic, all with cross mullions and leaded lights. The main range has an end stack to the right and a central axial stack, with an additional axial stack in the wing. The left return features cross windows similar to those at the front.
Inside, the stair hall has a beamed ceiling, and there is a 17th-century single-flight staircase with turned balusters, a moulded string and handrail, and newels topped with ball finials.
