Description

The Old Rectory is a house that dates from the late 15th century, 16th century, 18th century, and early 19th century. It is constructed from granite rubble stone with quoins, stone dressings, and timber framing that features roughcast nogging. The roofs are made of Swithland slate in a twin-span design, with Welsh slate on the rear of the second span, and there are brick stacks at the ends and sides.

The building has two storeys and consists of five ranges. The central right range is from the late 15th or early 16th century, the left range is early 19th century, the second span at the rear is late 18th century, and the cross wing on the right is from the late 16th century, showcasing very elaborate timber framing. There is also a wing behind this that has roughcast walls, possibly of late medieval origin.

The central right range features a projecting stack and a two-storey canted bay window with stone mullions and transoms, arranged in a 2:4:2-light configuration with leaded lights. It has a hood mould on the ground floor, while the first-floor lights have cusped heads, Y tracery, and a crenellated transom. Above, there is a parapet with a frieze of shields in quatrefoils and battlements. A small dormer door is located behind this. To the left, there are two two-light leaded casements, one with top lights, above a door with an overlight set within a rounded arch, and a similar two-light window with top lights.

The left range features a four-light stone mullion window with leaded sashes and a hood mould on both floors, along with a similar two-light window at the left end and a two-light casement above. The rear range has two storeys with five two-light mullion and transom windows, although the two ground floor windows on the left have been replaced with 6/6 sashes. The central doorcase has a six-panelled door, with the upper four panels glazed, a fanlight, and a canopy supported by brackets, all with stone dressings and an eaves cornice.

The cross wing on the right front also has two storeys, with small square panels decorated with quatrefoils, curved braces, and the initials I.A.E. Inside, there are moulded ceiling beams and a late 18th-century staircase. The building was formerly used as the Rectory.
