Description
The Rectory, now a house, dates from the early 18th century and has undergone alterations in the late 18th century, 19th century, and 20th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with stone dressings, featuring prominent long and short quoins, and has a slate roof with raised coped verges and gable stacks. The building is designed in a classical style and consists of two storeys with four windows, all of which are sashes with horns set in raised architraves that have projecting keystones. The central entrance is an eight-panelled door in a similar surround, flanked by recessed panels and topped with a pediment on moulded brackets. There is a plinth, a moulded string course above the heads of the ground floor windows, a cornice, and a blocking course.
To the right, there is a single-storey addition with a cornice. The right side of the building features varied windows; the ground floor has two four-pane sashes with raised architraves and dripstones, while the first floor has two sashes to the right with thicker glazing bars, a smaller sash with margin glazing to the left, and two four-pane sashes at the attic level. The coping ramps up to the central stack. On the left side, both the ground and first floors have two sashes with thick glazing bars, raised architraves, projecting keystones, and floating cornices, along with two similar attic windows. The rear of the building includes a central plate glass sash in a recessed reveal that lights the stair, a blocked window at the first floor right, a 20th-century dormer, and a single-storey addition with three sashes in raised architraves with keystones, along with two 20th-century doors.
Inside, the property features shutters on the windows, an open-well stair with a wreathed handrail and turned balusters, and the front left room, which was formerly two rooms but is now one, has panelled walls and a fireplace at the rear in a moulded surround, along with cornices.
