Description

The Old Rectory is a house dating from the 17th century, with additions from the early 18th century. It features coursed limestone rubble for the 17th-century section and fine squared coursed rubble for the 18th-century part, complemented by rusticated quoins on the left side. The roof is made of artificial stone slate, with coped gables and stone ridge and end stacks, and there are three skylights added in the 20th century.

The building has a 3-unit plan, is two stories high, and has a four-window range. The 17th-century section on the right has two four-light mullioned windows on the ground floor and two three-light mullioned windows on the first floor, all adorned with hood moulds and labels. The 18th-century section on the left features a large wood-mullioned window on the ground floor with a moulded stone surround and two keyblocks, along with an 18th-century doorway to the right that has a 20th-century glazed door. There are two tall 18th-century windows on the first floor with a central wood mullion, and all doorways and windows in this section have moulded stone surrounds with keyblocks.

An altered 20th-century service range extends forward from the right side. The left gable end of the 18th-century range has additional 18th-century windows with moulded stone surrounds and keyblocks. At the rear, there is a staircase range that is two stories plus an attic, featuring part-renewed two-light mullioned windows. There are also two 20th-century porches and 20th-century mullioned windows at the back.

Inside the 17th-century range, there is an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and double jewel stops, along with a chamfered spine beam that has an ogee stop. The 18th-century range includes a panelled ground-floor room with a cupboard-niche and an 18th-century panelled door. In the rear staircase range, there is an 18th-century dog-leg staircase leading to the attic, complete with turned balusters.
