Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a house. It likely has origins from the 17th century, with alterations and enlargements made in the early and late 19th century. The building is constructed of roughly coursed sandstone rubble, with brick and Welsh slate roofs and brick stacks. It has a rectangular plan that is aligned north-west to south-east and consists of two storeys, along with attics and cellars.
The garden front facing north features a symmetrical arrangement of windows with three sets of glazing bar sashes, gable fronts on the left and right that have cusped bargeboards, and a central porch that includes a glazed two-leaved door from the late 19th century. Attached to the right side of the house is a two-storey out-building from the late 19th century.
Inside, there is an open well staircase from the early 19th century that has stick balusters, a mahogany handrail, and carved brackets. The north gable features an early 19th-century first-floor two-light casement window that matches those found in the nearby stables. The house is situated in a prominent location near the Church of St Mary and is included for its group value.
