The Old Rectory And Rectory Cottage

The Old Rectory and Rectory Cottage is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It has origins dating back to the early 13th century, with various additions and alterations made in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building features regular coursed limestone and ironstone, with some ashlar and a splayed plinth. The roofs are tiled, adorned with moulded coped gable parapets, and there are stone and brick stacks, along with brick ridge and end stacks.

The structure has a complex T-plan, with a cross wing on the left side. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a five-window range. A 20th-century battlemented porch is located in the re-entrant angle, featuring a four-centred arched doorway and a plank door. The cross wing is supported by angle buttresses with two offsets, and it includes a sill course and a string course. Throughout the building, there are early 20th-century leaded stone-mullioned windows. The main range has a four-light window, two two-light windows with transoms, and two-light windows above. The cross wing contains four-light transomed windows and a two-light round-arched attic window.

At the rear, the cross wing has a lower wing added to the front, which features a 20th-century half-glazed door inserted into a blocked window of two chamfered lancets. The left return side has a blocked cellar lancet, and the cross wing includes a slit window. Above this is a 13th-century two-light window with chamfered lancets and a shaft with a stiff leaf capital; the arch and sub-arches are adorned with roll hood moulds. The main range also has an old leaded cross window and leaded casements, along with mid-20th-century additions.

Inside, there is a straight flight staircase with square-shaped balusters, likely from the 20th century, and two-panel and three-plank doors.
