Description

The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly the rectory, dating from the 17th century with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from coursed rubblestone and features old tile roofs. The building has two storeys with attics and presents a three-bay southwest front from the 17th century, along with a late 18th-century north bay. There is an early 18th-century rear wing that has a parallel roofed 18th-century rear wing attached to the 18th-century north bay, and an early 19th-century south bay.

The southwest front has a central door with margin lights in the glazing and a cast iron trellis porch. The facade is four windows wide, featuring sash windows, with a tripartite arrangement in the right bay. The left bay is rendered and has box sashes along with one dormer, while the right 19th-century bay also has box sashes and a flat-roofed dormer. There are flanking brick stacks between the second and third bays, and the center and right gables of the main range have stacks with moulded cornices, the center one featuring two square brick shafts.

On the northeast front, there is a double-gabled wing at the north end. The southern part has two sashes with early 18th-century thick glazing bars on its south elevation, a six-panel door at the angle with a hood, and two blocked windows on the first floor as well as one blocked window on the ground floor. There is also one sash window adjacent to the door. The north elevation is rendered.

Inside, there is an 18th-century closed string staircase with turned balusters. The southeast ground floor room in the rear range has early 18th-century dado panelling, a shouldered architraved doorcase with honeysuckle scroll edging, and a moulded cornice.
