The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a mid-to-late 19th-century rectory, now a house, located in Sheviock. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble with limestone dressings, and has slate roofs with ridge tiles and stacks to the front and gable ends. The overall design is a U-plan, consisting of the main house connected to a three-room service wing parallel to it.

The main house has a double-depth plan with three principal rooms facing the garden front. The entrance front features a gabled porch to the right with raised coped verges, chamfered walls, and a four-centred arched outer opening with a hood mould. The inner doorway is also four-centred arched, with a door featuring cover strips, a fanlight, and sidelights with diamond glazing. A two-light casement window with a hood mould is located above. An external stack is present to the left, and a moulded eaves cornice runs along the top. The garden front has gabled bays projecting forward at each end. The left gable end has an external stack, chamfered walls, and small 20th-century single-light windows to either side of the flue at ground floor. The central bays have a moulded eaves cornice, with mullion and transom windows with hood moulds at ground floor and two-light casements with hood moulds at first floor. The gable to the right has a canted bay window on the ground floor with a French window and casements, and a two-light casement at first floor.

The right side of the building has chamfered walls and an external stack near the front gable. A four-centred arched recess containing a lattice-glazed mullion and transom stair light is also present, with additional arched upper lights. A set-back wing connects the main house to the service wing, with two 20th-century windows at first floor. A screen wall with a four-centred arched doorway and hood mould separates the main house from the right-side service wing.

The two-storey service wing has a gable front with an external stack, raised coped verges, and chamfered walls. The inner side of the wing features a door and a 20th-century window at first floor. An external staircase leads to a glazed door. The outer side of the wing has four windows at first floor, along with three 20th-century casements at ground floor. A gable end stack and a ridge stack are present on the rear of the service wing. A 20th-century connecting wing links to a former coach house, which is now a separate house and excluded from the listing. The rear of the building has a two-bay section to the right and a gable end to the left, featuring a moulded eaves cornice, a French window with a hood mould, and a canted bay with casements. A lower connecting wing to the left features a mullion and transom window at ground floor and a two-light casement at first floor. The gable end of the service wing projects forward with raised coped verges, a stack, a 20th-century French window at ground floor, and two 20th-century lights at first floor.

The interior of the building was not inspected.
