The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a detached house that was formerly a rectory, primarily built in the 17th century but possibly incorporating earlier elements. It was re-roofed and refaced in the 19th century. The building features mainly plastered walls and a slate roof that is hipped at the left end, with a brick stack positioned left of center.

The structure is divided into two sections. The left section has two storeys and includes a panelled door set in a 20th-century trellised porch. The ground floor features a pair of French doors and four casement windows with horizontal glazing bars, while the first floor has four similar windows. The right section is one storey with an attic and has a steeper pitched slate roof, along with a slated lean-to at the right end and a glazed door. The ground floor here has three casement windows with horizontal glazing bars, and the attic contains two gabled dormers with casements. The left gable wall is buttressed, and the rear wall is partly brick and partly plastered cob, featuring an angled squint on the ground floor and traces of a blocked opening at an intermediate level.

Inside, the left ground floor room has deep chamfered and stopped ceiling beams supported by stone corbels, along with a stone fireplace that has a flat lintel and moulded surround. The main staircase, dating from the 17th century, features a closed string and heavy turned balusters and extends into the loft. There is a timber-framed partition in the former cross-passage. The central room has deep chamfered ceiling beams and a large open fireplace with a timber lintel, as well as 18th-century raised panel doors and dado. The stairs at the right end have shaped splat balusters at the upper landing, also from the 17th century. The interior features are included in the listing.
