The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a 17th-century building with 18th-century additions, formerly the rectory for the parish, situated on a partially moated site. The original 17th-century section has a timber frame, now rendered, and a plain tiled roof. It is two storeys high with attics, featuring a three-bay layout and a three-window range of sliders on the first floor. Early double-hung sash windows are on the ground floor, with a tiled bay window on the south elevation. An axial chimney stack is also present. The 18th-century addition is plastered with a slate roof and an appearance of a double gable. It projects from the rear of the earlier building and contains double-hung sash windows. The front has two main entrance doorways, each with plain wooden round columns; one is further accentuated with an entablature and square pilasters. Decorative bargeboards are also incorporated. A later, single-storey addition extends from the north elevation. Inside, an early Georgian staircase features heavily carved balusters and a moulded handrail. Raised and fielded panelled doors are present, alongside a corner cupboard of early date, possibly from the 17th century, characterised by reeded pilasters and shaped shelves.
