The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house, originally built as a rectory, dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Later additions were made in the late 19th century to the right and in the early 20th century to the left, with 20th-century alterations throughout. The building is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings, partially slate-hung and partially pebbledashed, and has a scantle slate roof with ridge tiles and hip. Brick shafts serve stacks on both sides of the original house, and a further stack is situated at the right end.

The original house has a double-depth plan, with a central entrance and principal rooms positioned to the front left and right, of equal size. Shallow rear service rooms follow. A one-room addition was constructed at the right end, heated by a stack, and another one-room addition was added to the left around the early 20th century.

The front façade is symmetrical, with three windows, all of which are 20th-century replacement sashes. The ground floor has a central 20th-century half-glazed door within a 20th-century doorcase and pediment. Flanking the door are 12-pane sashes with sidelights, each framed by a flat granite arch with a keystone. The first floor features a central 12-pane sash and flanking 12-pane sashes with sidelights, all with segmental arches. A two-storey addition is set back to the right, with a ground floor 15-pane sash with sidelights under a cambered arch and keystone, and a first-floor 12-pane sash with sidelights, also under a cambered arch and keystone. To the left, the later addition is two-storey with three 16-pane sashes at ground floor with flat arches and two 16-pane sashes with cambered arches at first floor. A 6-pane window is a later addition to the left end, and a 16-pane sash is located at the ground floor to the right end.

The rear of the building has a pebbledashed section with a single-storey 20th-century lean-to extension containing a door and 12-pane sash. To the right are two 12-pane sashes at both ground and first floors, with a raking dormer housing a 10-pane sash above. The 19th-century addition to the rear is slate-hung at first floor; the ground floor has a small single-storey lean-to with a 12-pane sash at ground and first floor to the left, and a 20th-century half-glazed door to the right. The interior was not inspected.
