Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory, dating to around 1740, with later alterations from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is constructed of brick, with stucco and colourwash finishes, and has hipped and gabled slate roofs. The building features a brick plinth, rebated and dentillated eaves, coped gables with kneelers, and three gable, single ridge, and single side wall stacks. It is two storeys high plus attics, and arranged in an irregular L-plan with five bays. Most windows are glazing bar sashes.
The south front has an early 19th-century canopied veranda supported by clustered iron posts, and five early 19th-century French windows on the ground floor, with five sashes above. The main east front features an early 19th-century canted two-storey bay window to the left, with three sashes on each floor. To the right of this bay window is a latticed timber porch with pierced brackets to the hood, a fanlight and a margin stile door. Further to the right is a sash with a segmental head, followed by a late 18th-century two-storey addition with two sashes. Above this addition, to the left, are three sashes with segmental heads, and to their right, two larger sashes. There is also a small gabled dormer window. The rear elevation includes a late 18th-century wing to the left, a two-storey stair turret to the right, and an early 20th-century flat-roofed addition of two storeys. On the return angle, a casement window is to the left, and a sash window to the right.
The interior retains a principal rafter roof with collars, single wall post, and a stud partition wall. A dogleg stair rises to two landings, featuring an elaborate scrolled ramped handrail, vase and stem balusters, and a decorated string. A winder stair leads to the attic. A panelled drawing room contains an Adam-style fireplace flanked by single cupboards with keystoned segmental heads and fanlights, along with two more Adam-style fireplaces constructed of timber and plaster. There are six 18th-century two-panel doors and five beaded plank doors, as well as a fragment of 17th-century reeded panelling.
