Description
The Old Rectory is a house located at the end of a row on Church Street in Atworth, dating back to 1676, as indicated by the datestone above the left attic window. The building is constructed of random rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with gable end stone stacks. It is two stories high with an attic and has two windows on the front facade.
The central feature is a gabled stone porch that contains an inner ledged door set in a chamfered wooden case. To the right of the porch is a two-light ovolo-mullioned casement window, while to the left is a three-light window and a 20th-century single-light window. On the first floor, there is a three-light mullioned casement window to the left and a two-light window to the right. The attic has two full gables, with a two-light mullioned casement on the left and a single ovolo-moulded light on the right, all of which are adorned with hoodmoulds.
A lean-to extension is attached to the right side of the building. The rear of the house features two-light and three-light mullioned casement windows, along with two attic gables similar to those at the front. The interior includes a through passage, which is reported to have been altered over time.
