Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating from the early 17th century, significantly altered since its original construction. It is built of stone with an old tile roof and features four ornamental brick chimney stacks, including two with hipped, three-light dormers. The two-storey and attic building has a U-shaped central section of three bays. The East front exhibits cross casements; a two-light window is centrally positioned on the first floor, while others are four-light, except for the left-hand ground floor window, which is a four-light casement. All windows have leaded glazing. The central entrance is a six-panelled oak door within an older moulded frame, set in an arched stone porch with springers. This is partially covered by a 19th-century gabled timber porch. A left-hand projecting gabled wing has a three-light attic casement above a 19th-century two-storey canted bay window. The right-hand wing was rebuilt in the 19th century in a Tudor style. The interior includes chamfered beams, some panelling dating to around 1600, and an altered 18th-century oak staircase featuring turned balusters and a moulded handrail.
