The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a private house, dating from around 1700 with an extension from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick and has a slate roof. The facade features 2½ storeys and consists of five bays. A six-panelled door is located in the second bay from the right, set behind a doorcase with modified Tuscan columnettes that support a broken pediment. Each floor has sash windows under gauged skewback arches. The attic storey, added around 1830, is topped with an eaves cornice that has paired modillions. The building has a hipped roof and a two-storeyed bow on the east side, also from around 1830, which contains three sashes on each floor, retaining their glazing bars under gauged skewback arches. Inside, the drawing room features a pair of modified Doric pilasters that support a ceiling beam, along with a timber carved fireplace surround decorated with swags. The open cut dog-leg staircase has two balusters on each tread and a handrail that is scrolled at the newel. The kitchen contains a fireplace from around 1700 and two bridging beams with tongue stops.
