Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, built around 1837 by Edward Browning, with some minor alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and has an ashlar Collyweston slate roof with two ridge stacks made of ashlar. It is two stories high with a garret and has a three-bay front. The central bay is advanced and gabled, adorned with a decorative pierced cusped Gothick bargeboard, and includes a moulded plinth, string course, and eaves course.
The central entrance door has traceried panels that are now glazed and is topped by a Tudor traceried overlight, flanked by single fixed lights. Beyond the entrance are single two-light windows. On the first floor, there are three stepped glazing bar lights, again flanked by single two-light windows. All windows feature Tudor arched heads with sunk spandrels, moulded surrounds, chamfered mullions, and moulded hoods. In the gable, there is a circular window set in a pelleted ashlar surround.
Inside, the property retains a Tudor arched stone screen supported by octagonal columns, leading to a dogleg stair with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail.
