Description

The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a house, dating from around 1855. It is constructed from squared limestone rubble, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and has slate roofs with timber bargeboards. The building is designed in an L-plan, with a lower two-storey service wing at the rear.

The entrance front is irregular with two storeys and a garret, presenting a two-bay façade that includes a chamfered plinth and an offset string course. The entrance features off-centre half-glazed doors within a moulded stone surround, set in a projecting stone porch that has a cornice and parapet. To the right of the entrance is a plain sash window. Above the porch, there are two tall cross mullioned windows with leaded lights for the stairwell, flanked by plain sash windows. The gable features three smaller sash windows.

On the side front, there is a canted bay window topped with a plain shield in a circle and a steeply gabled slate roof. The garden front consists of four bays, with a central bay that projects and has a separately gabled roof, containing a sash window in a recessed stone surround. To the left are two similar sash windows, and to the right is a single, narrower sash window. The first floor features six similar sash windows, and the gables contain single small lights. All sash windows have staggered glazing bars in the upper lights, segmental roll moulded ashlar heads, deep splayed sills, and chamfered reveals.
