The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house dating from the late 17th century, built as a replacement for an earlier timber-framed structure, of which part of the walls and a chimney are still incorporated into the current building. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar with plinthed quoins and features a steeply pitched plain tile roof with stone coped gable ends, kneelers, and ball finials. The house has an L-shaped plan, with a gabled wing projecting to the left, and consists of two storeys and an attic. The main range has a moulded plinth and is three bays wide. There is a central gabled stone porch with a plank door, flanked by four-light mullion/transom casements. On the first floor, there are three 2-light stone mullioned casements. The gabled wing has two 4-light mullion/transom casements on the ground floor, which are set under drip moulds, a similar window without a drip mould on the first floor, and a two-light stone mullioned casement in the attic. The building features one large square red brick ridge chimney stack and two additional chimney stacks with two diagonally placed shafts. Inside, there are chamfered and end stopped ceiling beams and a contemporary staircase.
