Description
The Old Rectory and Glebe House are a former rectory, now two houses, dating to 1814. They are possibly the work of Henry Hakewill. An entrance pavilion and loggia were added shortly afterwards, and a service wing, now Glebe House, was extended in 1875. The main building is of scored colourwashed render with a regular coursed stone plinth, while Glebe House is of Flemish bond red brick. They have slate shallow-hipped roofs with broad eaves and rendered and brick internal stacks. The building has a complex L-plan, with a wing to the left forming Glebe House.
The main range is two storeys, with a basement and attic, and has a three-window front. A square, open-fronted entrance pavilion to the right has angle piers, a plain entablature, steps, and a door of two shaped rectangular panels in a moulded wood architrave. A screen wall sits to the left. The main range has scored corners, creating the appearance of angle piers throughout. The basement has two-light casements with glazing bars, and stone lintels with keystones. Sashes are found throughout the building. The attic features round-arched half-dormers with eaves carried over as hoods, and low sashes with fan-light glazing.
The right return side is two storeys at different levels and has a four-window range. The right bay projects slightly. A half-glazed door, recessed within fielded panelled piers, is set within a narrow moulded wood architrave, and is concealed by the roof of a five-bay quadrant curve loggia extending from the entrance pavilion. The pavilion and entrance have rendered piers, the inner slightly recessed, with painted wood openwork uprights and lattice-work frieze. Inside, there is an apsidal alcove with a painted wood architrave, featuring heavy reeding and corner roundels, alongside a small window to the left of the door. A tripartite window sits under a segmental arch in the right bay, and a bay above the door is slightly recessed. Two lower-level windows on the left have small sunk panels above them.
The garden front is two storeys and has a three-window range, with some ground-floor alterations including a tripartite window under a segmental arch and a mid/late 19th-century sash to the left of centre. A small central pediment is supported by two pairs of brackets. The interior hall features segmental arches with panelled pilasters, one with a panelled soffit, a dog-leg staircase with winders and a scrolled open string, column newels, and moulded cornices. Some vertical sliding shutters are also present. Glebe House is two storeys and six windows wide, with 20th-century doors to the left and right, a six-panelled door to the right, two six-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, first-floor sashes, and stone flat arches.
