Description
The Rectory is a building that likely dates from the 15th or early 16th century, with later alterations, especially in the early 19th century. It has a timber-frame structure that is mostly rendered, topped with a hipped slate roof on the left and rendered stacks. Originally, it was designed as a hall with a service area and a solar cross-wing at the southern end. The building has two storeys and three bays, featuring a mix of glazing bar sash windows and two- and three-light segmental headed casements. There is a bow and bay window on the left side of the garden elevation, along with an off-centre French door. The entrance elevation has plain casements and a central door, while a service wing is located to the north. Inside, there is a chamfered and framed ceiling in the southern part, and an arch-braced central truss in the cross-wing. Additionally, some fragments of 16th-century glass can be found in the southwest window.
