Description

The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 17th century, with an addition made around 1792. The original 17th-century section features coursed rubble and some wooden lintels, while the later addition is built from squared and coursed rubble with flush rusticated dressed stone quoins and ashlar dressings. The gabled roof of the 17th-century block is covered with stone slates, and the late 18th-century section has a hipped stone slate roof. The building has been fitted with rebuilt stone stacks. The 17th-century range runs parallel to the churchyard, with the late 18th-century block to the southeast, creating an L-shaped plan.

The south front of the building is two storeys high and has two windows. The ground floor features two-leaf 20-pane French windows, while the upper floor has 16-pane sash windows with shutter rails, though no shutters are present. A verandah with a tented canopy is supported by wrought iron columns that have arched fan motifs in the spandrels. The east entrance front boasts a central Doric porch with coupled columns, a glazed inner section, and a six-panel oak door that includes two glazed panels.

Inside, the staircase is notable for its wreathed mahogany handrail and thin, square balusters. The ground floor rooms to the south are enhanced by cusped-panelled Gothic fireplaces.
