Description
The Rectory is a former rectory, now a private house, dating to the late 16th century, with significant rebuilding in the 19th century and a later extension to the west. The building has walls of coursed rubble stone with stone quoins, and the upper storey is timber-framed, jettied, and tile-hung, retaining original joists to the west of the entrance. Stone gable end walls are present, and the rear is rendered with stucco, featuring a small projection which was likely a garderobe.
The roof is slate, with stone gable copings, and there are 19th-century brick stacks at the gable ends. The Rectory is two storeys high, with a gabled porch at the centre. It has five windows, primarily 2-light 19th-century wood casements with lead lights, and a 3-light window above the porch entrance. The right-hand end of the ground floor incorporates a reused 3-light window in Ham stone, featuring a four-centred head and super mullions with trefoiled ogee lights, surmounted by a 2-light sash window. The central porch doorway has an oak frame with straight chamfered jambs and a 3-centred head, dating back to the 16th century, and a 20th-century two-leaf door.
Inside, some rooms feature deeply chamfered intersecting ceiling beams. A staircase, dating to around 1700, has square newels and turned balusters.
