Rectory House

Rectory House is a farmhouse that has been converted into offices and a flat. It dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble, topped with an old plain-tile roof and brick stacks. The building has a T-plan and consists of two storeys plus attics.

The entrance front features a stair tower to the left of the center, which is extended by a slightly later two-storey bay. The entrance is located to the right of the tower. The bay to the right has a 19th-century window at the ground floor, while the first floor and large gable feature three-light stone-mullioned windows. The stair tower and the bay to the left have two-light windows, with the one in the bay being blocked. All windows have ovolo mullions and labels. Two large stacks, with two and four diagonal shafts, rise from the left gable and above the entrance door. The end and subsidiary gables have parapets with moulded copings and prominent fluted-scroll kneelers. The rear wall has been entirely rebuilt with brick dressings to all openings, likely in the late 18th century or early 19th century.

Inside, there is a fine open-well stair leading to the attics, featuring pierced flat balusters, a wide roll-moulded handrail, and elaborate two-tier lantern finials. A winder stair rises beside the top flight to the roof space. The first-floor landing has an elaborate wooden double archway to the stair, with three-centre arches and recessed spandrels, carved stops to the mouldings, and a dentil cornice. There are four doorways with three- and four-centre arches with foliage spandrels, some featuring heavy doors with nine moulded panels and studded framing. The landing also has remains of a deep plaster frieze with arabesque panels. Additionally, there are two Tudor-arched stone fireplaces with recessed spandrels. The roof structure includes cambered collar trusses and butt purlins.
