The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 16th century and mid 17th century, with some alterations made in 1889. The building is constructed from coursed and squared ironstone and brick, featuring limestone ashlar dressings and steeply pitched Collyweston slate roofs. It has a chamfered plinth and coped gables, with two ridge and one gable stone stacks, as well as single ridge and lateral brick stacks.

The structure is two storeys high and has an L-plan layout with three bays. The west front features a slightly off-centre moulded Tudor arched doorcase with a hood mould and a half-glazed 19th-century door. To the left of the door, there are three two-light mullioned leaded casements with flat hoods. To the right, there is a gabled wing with a blocked opening. Above this, to the left, are two 19th-century gabled cross eaves dormers, each with a two-light casement. The gable to the right has a nine-pane sash window.

On the south side, there is a small central mullioned casement, flanked by two hipped 19th-century bay windows, each containing three plain sashes. Above this, there is a central mullioned stair light, with a small late 20th-century gabled dormer above it, flanked by two 19th-century cross eaves dormers, each with a two-light casement. The north side has, to the left, a barred casement in a moulded surround, and to the right, a small casement. Above this, to the left, is a 20th-century casement.

The rear of the building has three gables, with the central one being brick and dating from the 19th century. To the left, there are two tall glazing bar sashes, and to the right, two casements. The setback right gable features, to the left, a 19th-century door and, to the right, a 19th-century casement in a moulded stone surround. Above this, there is a plain sash window flanked to the left by a glazing bar sash and to the right by a casement.

Inside, there is a Tudor arched stone doorcase that has been re-used as a fireplace. The dogleg stair has a square newel and a moulded handrail. There is a 17th-century ovolo moulded oak doorcase with lambs' tongue stops, and a chamfered fireplace bressummer. The roof structure is believed to date from around 1580.
