Description
The Rectory is a house with a core dating from the 16th to 17th century, which was extensively remodeled in the early 19th century, and features a late 19th-century facade. It is timber framed and plastered, with a red brick parapet gable end on the right side. The roof is covered with glazed black pantiles and the building has two storeys plus an attic.
The symmetrical facade consists of three bays, with two-light casement windows on the first floor. The ground floor has two canted bay windows with sash windows that include glazing bars, flanked by narrow windows. A wooden cornice runs above these windows. The entrance features an enclosed flat-roofed wooden porch with panelled sides and a cornice, leading to paired half-glazed doors and a rectangular overlight. Inside the porch is an early 19th-century doorway with fluted pilasters and the lower part of the entablature, which is decorated with linked lozenges, along with a contemporary half-glazed door.
There is a gable stack on the right side and a two-span rear wing. The interior includes an early 19th-century well stair with stick balusters, a ramped and wreathed handrail, and carved tread-ends. Both ground floor rooms at the front have high ceilings with double hollow-moulded bridging beams. The interior has not been fully examined.
