The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a rectory, now used as a house and flats, dating back to 1777. It has been extended, altered, and partitioned, likely around 1930. The exterior is roughcast, possibly over brick, and features a slate roof. The building has an irregular rectangular shape oriented north-south. The west front has a set-back two-bay centre, largely altered, with two doorways at ground floor sheltered by a canopy. A north wing has tall two-light casements on the ground floor, and twelve-pane sash windows above. A bowed south wing, two stories high, mirrors this height and features eight-pane sash windows on the ground floor, and twelve-pane above. A modillioned cornice runs around the entire building, which is topped by a hipped roof with two dormers in the north wing and several chimneys. The return wall of the south wing has two prominent chimney stacks. The rear of the building includes a two-story, three-bay centre, a short connecting bay to the left, and bows to both wings. An inserted doorway, a round-headed stair window, and an oculus are in the connecting link. There are also French windows and sash windows with twelve, six, and four panes of glass, as well as a twelve-pane semi-dormer that breaks the eaves of the north wing. Inside the section of the house occupying the south end, there is an open-well staircase with a scrolled open string, scrolled brackets, columnar newels, stick balusters, and a wreathed curtail. Various moulded plaster cornices are also present throughout.
