Old Rectory House

Old Rectory House is a rectory that has been converted into a house, originating from the 17th century, with key dating to 1696. It has undergone alterations in the mid-19th century, early 19th century, and some changes in the 20th century. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble, with the front rendered and lined out. It features a double Roman tiled roof, with a brick ridge and gable stack to the right, and some areas covered with pantiles.

The house has a former through passage plan and has been extended to the right and left, with a ridge stack at the former gable end to the left. It is two storeys tall and has six bays. The three bays on the right have sashes in exposed boxes with segmental heads, with a smaller sash at the ground floor left. There is an off-centre gabled porch with a half-glazed door; to the left of the door, there is a similar sash at the ground floor and an 8-pane sash above. The bay added to the left features ground and first floor 2-light casements of different sizes.

The right return has a single storey pantiled lean-to, with a door that has a segmental head and a small single light to the side. The former rear door has a timber lintel and a 20th-century window inserted. The left return includes a 4-pane light at the ground floor left and a 2-light casement with a timber lintel at the first floor left. There is a line of brick alteration at the eaves to the right, and a stack rises from a catslide to the left.

At the rear, there is a 4-pane sash at the upper level to the left, which lights the stair, with a small door beneath it. There is a blocked ground floor window to the right and a 20th-century plate-glass window under the eaves. A single storey addition to the rear right extends the pitch of the main roof and has two windows and a door, all from the 20th century, along with a roof light and a long 20th-century dormer.

Inside, the house originally had a two-room plan with a through passage. The fireplace at the former gable end to the left features a wide chamfered lintel and stone jambs. A blocked window to the rear has an 18th-century cupboard with shaped shelves, and there is a screen with raised fillets and ventilation holes, which was formerly to the right of the passage but is now to the left of the entrance. The former front passage door is now a recess in the wall and is not visible from outside. The former rear passage door has walls that curve to the sides and now leads into the rear addition. The room to the far right has a replacement winder stair in a cupboard to the rear, while the end room to the left also features a replacement winder stair.
