The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a house, originally built in 1717, with alterations made in the late 19th century and mid 20th century. The building is constructed of brick, partly rendered, and features coursed and squared rubble, topped with slate roofs. It has ashlar dressings, a chamfered plinth, and bands at the first floor and eaves. The eaves are modillioned in wood and chamfered in stone, and the gables are coped. The structure is two storeys plus attics and has an L-plan with five bays.

The windows are primarily 18th and 19th century glazing bar sashes with flat arched heads. The south front features a central door with a porch hood supported by scroll brackets, flanked by two sashes. To the right, there is a mid 20th century flat-roofed single bay addition. Above this, there are five sashes and three pedimented dormers, with the central one being segmental. The rear elevation includes a full-width single storey 19th century lean-to addition with a central shouldered doorway and overlight, flanked by single sashes. Above, there are three sashes and three dormers similar to those on the south front.

On the east side, there is a single storey 20th century addition to the left, featuring a sash and two casements. The gable has a sash on each floor and one in the garret. To the right, there is a 17th century two-storey rear wing with three 20th century casements and two casements above. The west side includes a lean-to addition with a door and a casement, and above it, there is a 19th century casement.

Inside, the property features a dogleg stair with landings, a fluted newel, turned balusters, and an altered handrail. The dining room has full-height fielded panelling, and the bedroom above retains remnants of similar panelling. The drawing room boasts a moulded cornice, a chair rail, and a pilastered doorcase with a blank fanlight. The landing features a round-headed keystoned arch dated 1717 and there are nine two-panel 18th century doors. The roof incorporates a double purlin principal rafter design with re-used timber. A late 16th century west wing was demolished in 1964.
